Canuck Surfer Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 3 hours ago, elvis15 said: No kidding. 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. Red Deer would be great if it were only Calgary & Edmonton in the tourney. Penticton is a bit far from Edmonchuck. But largely central to these three teams. Fans from Winnipeg are only too happy to get out and go wherever. Red Deer is just close enough that Brian can change his depends. Without having to sit in them for an extra 4 & 1/2 hours... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elvis15 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Quote The Vancouver Canucks announced today that the City of Penticton will host the 2016 Young Stars Classic for the sixth year at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, BC, from Friday, September 16th to Monday, September 19th. 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. “The Young Stars Classic launches a new season and offers a great opportunity to watch NHL prospects develop in competitive games. We’re grateful to our gracious hosts, The South Okanagan Events Centre and the city of Penticton for always making this a first class experience.” 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. Tournament ticket packages include all six games for $60. VIP and Premium VIP ticket packages are also available for $90 and $275 respectively. For information and details on what VIP packages include please visit canucks.com/youngstars and SOEC.ca. Tickets are available online at ValleyFirstTix.com, by phone at 1-877-763-2849, in person at the South Okanagan Events Centre Valley First Box Office. “The hockey is astonishingly fast and intense. You get to witness players get their start and see firsthand hockey heroes of the past who are now part of the management or coaching. It truly is a must attend event for all hockey fans,” said Event Chair and City of Penticton Mayor Andrew Jakubeit. “Now celebrating six years in Penticton, we welcome and appreciate the significant economic impact and exposure that having this NHL-caliber hockey brings to our community and region.” Once against this year the festivities will include a Canucks Town Hall Breakfast as well as Minor Hockey Day, which will include a Party on the Plaza event with games, food, music and entertainment as well as skills and development camps for BC minor hockey players.

Justdean10 Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 I would really like to find people to go with this year.. I don't really have a lot of hockey liking friends and so no one who would want to spend the money to go. I live in Kelowna.. so if anyone from Kelowna wants to go. I could pitch in for gas and what not.. if anyone is interested, let me know Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herberts Vasiljevs Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Zhukenov is the guy I'm most excited to watch. He's such a smart kid with so much room left to grow. I think he'll be a legitimate NHL'er one day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noseforthenet Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Nylander/Juolevi, Tkachuk, Dubois, and Laine all in one young stars tourney. Yeah, this one is going to be a gooder!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 On 6/19/2016 at 9:44 PM, Ossi Vaananen said: 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 And plugging in 2016 picks: Abols - Cassels - LaPlante Stukel - Zhukenov - Labate Stewart - McKenzie - Jasek Juolevi - Stecher Sautner - Subban Brisebois - Neill Olson, Candella Demko Gartieg Lockwood is off to Michigan, so he's not an option.

I didn't realize there was an online pre-sale, but after I saw your post I went on the site ( about 5 pm your time) and there was no centre ice seats available at the $60 price level. Took a set of 4 in sec 117. They're going fast this year! Was there a pre-sale last year? I didn't buy my tickets then, until the official sale date and got better seats. And that was the McJesus tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many years has this been going? It seems like since the draft has gained momentum with the high profile players going to Canadian teams and stuff these tourneys are super popular.

I prefer the lower seats, I'm kind of short and I always get tall people sitting in front of me lol I believe this is the 6th year. I think this will be my fourth year in a row going. It's nice seeing our players play before they go off to the big league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
