Red Deer Polytechnic has a buzz around it as the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre gets set to host three pre-tournament games ahead of the upcoming IIHF World Junior Championship.

“We’re incredibly excited to partner with Red Deer Polytechnic to host USA, Czech, Switzerland and Germany as they get set for the 2022 World Junior Championship,” said Rob Litwinski, CEO Hockey Alberta.

It’s not only a chance to be a part of building the excitement for the tournament in Red Deer and Central Alberta, but also to offer an affordable, intimate World Juniors experience.”
