Rebels’ Barteaux, Fancy invited to Hockey Canada Summer Showcase
Two up and coming members of the Red Deer Rebels have caught the attention of Hockey Canada.
Defenceman Dawson Barteaux and goaltender Byron Fancy are among 197 players invited to the Summer Showcase in Calgary.
Barteaux is one of 16 defenceman invited to try out for Canada’s national under-18 squad that will compete at the Ivan Hlinka Memorial Cup in the Czech Republic in August.
As a 17-year-old last season, Barteaux suited up in 24 games with the Rebels, collecting two assists and four penalty minutes. The Foxwarren, Manitoba native who came to the Rebels in the January 10 blockbuster trade with the Regina Pats is eligible for the 2018 NHL Draft.
