Three North Stars invited to Junior A Challenge selection camp
North Stars’ players Levi Kleiboer, Cody Spagrud, and Layne Young each received an invite to attend selection camp for the 2016 World Junior A Challenge.
Tryouts for Canada West will take place in Leduc, Alta., from Dec. 5 to 8, while the tournament, which features two Canadian teams as well as four international entries, will run from Dec 11 to 18 in Bonnyville, Alta.
“I think it’s good when your team is recognized, even when it’s recognized [for] individuals,” Coach Nate Bedford said. “It just speaks volumes to how deep our team is [and] how good and how young our team is. The three guys that are going all deserve to be there and we hope all three of them make it.”
Sixty players were invited to try out for Canada West, made up of players from the AJHL, BCHL, MJHL, SIJHL, and SJHL, while 40 players were invited for Canada East, made up of players from the CCHL, LHJQ, MHL, NOJHL, and OJHL.
