HUMBOLDT GETS 2012 RBC CUP

Sunday, May 30, 2010

Hockey Canada has awarded the 2012 RBC Cup to Humboldt and the SJHL's Broncos.

While nothing official has been forthcoming as of Sunday afternoon, several reliable sources have indicated that each of the four finalists to host the 2012 event have been notified as to the decision. Humboldt was competing with Alberni Valley (BC), Fort MacMurray (AB), and Kingston (ON).

Humboldt won the RBC Cup in 2008 and finished as the runner-up in 2009. They also won three straight SJHL championships from 2007-2009.

The club is already in full rebuild mode in advance of having a highly competitive team in 2012.

Defenseman Tanner Clark, who played this year as a 16-year-old, will be a 3-year veteran with two eligible seasons remaining by the time May 2012 rolls around. Other players on the current roster that may still be around come May 2012 include defenseman Josh Roach (92), and forwards Neil Landry (92) and Troy Gasper (92). Other players from this year's club that could still be eligible include defenseman Garrett Leedahl (91), forward Spencer Baht (91), forward Taylor Johnson (91), defenseman Cade Kimery (91), and forward Brendan Kotyk (91).

More details from Hockey Canada are expected later today or Monday.
