Smaller group for Rebels prospects camp this weekend

May 30, 2019 | 3:54 PM

It’s happening at the same place at the same time of year, but this weekend’s Red Deer Rebels Prospects Camp will have a new look.

Where as in past years the team invited a fairly large group that included its most recent WHL Bantam Draft picks, this year the Rebels are inviting only 16-and-17-year-old players.

Players picked by the Rebels in the 2019 WHL Bantam Draft earlier this month in Red Deer are just 15-years-old and ineligible to play full-time in the WHL this season.

Each of the players at camp this weekend, conversely, is eligible to compete for a roster spot this fall.
