X-PatLostInEdm Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Anybody know if the Penticton tournament is going ahead this year? I went with my son last year and it was great time. I'm looking to do that again this year but haven't seen any announcements on it. Nothing on Canuck news or twitter feeds, nothing on the SOEC site. Last year they had announced by mid-May, but I can't find anything about it this year. I'm thinking it would be a good one, too. 4 of the top 6 draft picks would probably be in it.

Outsiders Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Would Virtanen and Demo be there? I know no Boeser cause of Collage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I were a betting man.... I'd say they're going ahead with it again this year. Wish I could help more, but at the Casino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Vintage Canuck- Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 Yes, Young Stars Classic is coming back to Penticton, BC this year. The Canucks will play against the Flames, Oilers and Jets from September 16th to 19th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demko yes, though Virtanen made the big club, so I don't think he would. Last year, after Horvat made the big club he wasn't required to go either. What is interesting is they seem to allow 2nd year pros to play. This would mean Cassels/Subban/Sautner would be eligible, but we wouldn't have much support on the forward front. It's tricky making the lineup as it requires players under 2 years pro, no one college eligible, and no one who has made the big club. What I have as a roster at this point: Zhukenov- Cassels - LaPlante Stewart - LaBate - Jasek? Sautner - Subban Brisebois - Stecher Olson - Neill Demko Gartieg Much of the roster will be dependent upon 2016 draftees. It seems from the pipeline we could use a few more forwards. Edit: Added Goalies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is likely the reason why they haven't announced the details. They are waiting for the draft day to conclude, since there are a few Canadian teams that have a high draft pick this year, then later they can release information of the tournament that will feature the top prospects from this year's draft.

Edit: Added Goalies I'll be focusing more on the defence and the goaltending side of the line-up and whoever is our 5th overall plus Zhukenov. Stecher, Jasek, Zhukenov and Demko more closely since I've seen them the least/if at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was tough getting hotel rooms last year (three major events on the same weekend) so I wanted to make sure it was going ahead and on which dates. Again, thanks.

The draw in Penticton isn't just the SOEC and its great arena, but also Penticton in the fall can be quite nice. Plenty to see around the area that time of year and the weather is great, plus wine country. Red Deer, well... not so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fred65 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 BB is doing this to promote his brand .... just like Penticton promotes the 'Nucks brand.
