The 2016 Male U16 Provincial Camp will be taking place this week at Shawnigan Lake School from July 13 – 17, 2016. Players were invited to the camp based on their performance at the U16 BC Cup, which was held April 20 – 24, 2016 in Salmon Arm, BC. Following the Provincial Camp, players will be evaluated during the beginning of the 2016 – 2017 season. Twenty (20) players will then be named to Team BC that will compete at the 2016 Western Canada Challenge Cup in October. Players have been named to either the Penguins or the Sabres and will take part in 10 on-ice practices, four (4) games and various off-ice training and team building activities.
Of the 44 players attending the 2016 BC U16 Male Provincial Summer Camp, 36 were drafted in the 2016 WHL Bantam Draft held previously this spring. There will be 6 first round selections attending the camp, including top 10 overall picks: Josh Williams (5th Overall – Medicine Hat), and Sasha Mutala (6th Overall – Tri-City).
The BC Hockey Male High Performance Program was introduced in 1980 with the mandate to systematically identify and train the province’s elite-level players for high performance hockey events. The overall objective of the program is to increase the chances of athletes from BC to compete provincially, regionally, nationally and internationally with the ultimate goal being selected to Hockey Canada’s National Junior or National Senior Team.
