The City of Penticton will host the 2016 Young Stars Classic for the sixth year. The four-team, round-robin tournament will feature prospects from the Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, Winnipeg Jets, and Vancouver Canucks. The four participating teams also hold four of the top six selections at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft: Winnipeg – second overall, Edmonton – fourth overall, Vancouver – fifth overall, and Calgary – sixth overall. Tournament tickets and VIP packages will go on sale on Friday, July 8th at 10:00 AM.
“We are very excited to once again hold the Young Stars Classic in beautiful Penticton, BC,” said Trevor Linden, Canucks President of Hockey Operations. “This event is one we circle on our calendars every year as it provides us a tremendous platform to further develop and assess our top prospects in competitive games.”
Six Canucks prospects that participated in the Young Stars Classic in September 2015 played in at least one NHL regular season game in 2015-16 including current roster players Ben Hutton and Jake Virtanen.
