Cornwall to host CJHL Prospects Game
Hockey Canada and presenting partner RBC announced the schedule for the RBC Road to the World Juniors, which includes a game in Cornwall on December 19, at 7 p.m., at the Cornwall Civic Complex. This pre-competition tour of 10 games, ahead of the 2017 IIHF World Junior Championship, will extend the excitement of world-class hockey outside of the two tournament host-cities, Montreal and Toronto. In addition to the World Junior Exhibition game, the city of Cornwall will host Team Denmark for the pre- competition camp. Team Denmark will call the Benson Centre home from December 15 to December 23, where they have scheduled multiple practices daily, from 9:30 a.m. to 11 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. These practices are open to the public at no charge. After the pre-tournament camp, Denmark will move on to the Bell Centre in Montreal, for their first game of the World Juniors on Boxing Day. Frederik Andersen (Toronto Maple Leafs), Nikolaj Ehlers (Winnipeg Jets), Lars Eller (Washington Capitals), and Frans Nielson (Detroit Red Wings) are all players from Denmark, currently playing in the NHL. — supplied photo
The Canadian Junior Hockey League, in part- nership with the National Hockey League and Hockey Canada, recently announced that Cornwall was selected as the host city for the 12 th annual CJHL Prospects Game, which will be held at 7:30 p.m. on January 25, 2017, at Ed Lumley Arena within the Cornwall Civic Complex. The contest will feature 40 of the top NHL Draft eligible players from across the entire 10-league CJHL taking part.The line-ups will see 20 prospects selected from the five eastern- based CJHL leagues (MHL, LHJQ, CCHL, OJHL & NOJHL) taking on top 20 prospects from the CJHL’s five western-based leagues (BCHL,AJHL, SJHL, MJHL & SIJHL).The rosters will be chosen, in partnership with NHL Central Scouting, and will be announced at a later date along with the respective coaching staffs for the two sides.“The CJHL Prospects Game brings together the top draft eligible Junior ‘A’ prospects from throughout Canada for on and off-ice testing and an East versus West game,” stated NHL director of Central Scouting Dan Marr. Having the opportunity to watch an entire group of prospects under one roof will be a huge benefit to all the scouts that will be in attendance. “It is a tremendous opportunity for these players to showcase their ability and represent their leagues and com- munities on a national stage,” added Marr. “We are both honoured and excited to be hosting the Prospects Game and we look forward to creating a dynamic event for the CJHL players being recognized and to continue the proud tradition of Cornwall as a welcoming host city,” offered co-event chair Shawna Mecteau, who is heading up the host committee along with co-chair David Murphy. – Francis Racine
