2019 Alberta Cup kicks off in Red Deer

Apr 24, 2019 | 1:16 PM

RED DEER – Many of the top 2004-born male hockey players from around the province have converged on Red Deer for the 2019 Alberta Cup.

The Alberta Cup is the premier event in the province that helps identify the top male players in Alberta. It is well attended by scouts as they prepare for the Western Hockey League’s bantam draft. In addition to player evaluations, the competition is also an opportunity for administrators, coaches, trainers and referees to be evaluated for future positions with the Team Alberta Program.

Alberta Cup graduates include Matt Dumba, Braden Holtby, Jay Bouwmeester, Brayden Point, Scott Hartnell, Jordan Eberle, Devan Dubnyk, and Jake DeBrusk.
