The Western All-Star Challenge is taking place in Martensville, Sask., this Monday to Wednesday (Nov. 3 to Nov. 5), a kick off of sorts to the start of the international hockey season.
The MJHL recently announced the 12 forwards, six defensemen and two goaltenders who will compete against the top players from the SJHL. This heavily-scouted event serves as an unofficial scouting opportunity for both leagues as rosters are considered for the World Junior A Challenge in Trois-Rivieres, Que., Dec. 7-13.
Notable West Division representatives on the team includes Dauphin netminder Justin Perreault and teammate Ethan Stewart, Virden’s Bryce Bryant, Colten Worthington and Lincoln Black-Greaves, Swan Valley’s Crosby Harrison, Tyler Wamboldt and Jack Clark from the Neepawa Titans, and Cole Hunter from the Waywayseecappo Wolverines.
