Tuesday, November 6, 2012

The Canadian Junior Hockey League (CJHL) and Hockey Canada announced today the team rosters for the 2012 CJHL Prospects Games on November 10th & 11th in Digby and Yarmouth, NS.

The CJHL Prospects Game was created to showcase 40 of the top NHL prospects in the CJHL. The CJHL Prospects Games feature players from the CJHL's five western leagues competing against the top prospects from the CJHL's five eastern leagues in a two-game total goal series. Player selection for the annual CJHL Prospects Games is a joint initiative of the CJHL and NHL Central Scouting.

Team West includes eight players from the Alberta Junior Hockey League, seven selections from the British Columbia Hockey League, three players from the Manitoba Junior Hockey League, as well as one player from both the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League and the Superior International Hockey League. Twelve players on the Team West roster were invited to the 2012 World Junior A Selection Camp.

Minnesota Wilderness General Manager / Head Coach, Rod Aldoff, will lead Team West as Head Coach. "This is a great opportunity, and honor for each of the players involved in the prospect game," said Aldoff. "It gives the kids a chance to showcase themselves in front of a variety of scouts and represent our leagues in Western Canada. Being involved in the Prospects Games is a great honor and I'm very excited to be given this opportunity by the CJHL and Hockey Canada."
