#FlashbackFriday: Challenge Cup Memories

 

Coming up on a week removed from a fantastic showcase at the 2016 Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup, what better way to look back on the week that was than to stream through some of the first-hand perspectives and thoughts from the deep well of talent that graced the ice at Calgary’s Markin MacPhail Centre?

Each of Canada’s four Western branches put forth phenomenal showings at the Challenge Cup, with exciting hockey enduring from the first puck drop to the final overtime buzzer.

After Carter Chorney notched the gold medal-winning goal for Team Alberta, Twitter was flooded with chatter from players across the region.

Huge thank you to @HockeyAlberta and @TheWHL and everyone else who made it a unbelievable experience! #gold pic.twitter.com/JbAJcst6iG
