Two central Albertans are headed to Switzerland for the 2022 Spengler Cup.

Colton Sceviour (Red Deer) and Riley Nash (Consort) are two of 25 players to represent Canada at this year’s tournament.

“It’s an exciting group of players we have assembled as we begin another quest for a Spengler Cup championship in Switzerland,” said General Manager Shane Doan, who is from Halkirk east of Stettler himself.

“Our roster has plenty of experience in short-term competition, including previous Spengler Cups, and significant experience playing in some of the best leagues in the world. We are confident the group we have named today will represent the country with pride and compete hard for a 17th tournament title.”

Sceviour last played in the NHL with Edmonton in the 2021-22 season, while Nash played with Arizona that year.
