under-17 development program to the Alberni Valley. Forty-eight players from across British Columbia – all
vying for 11 spots on Team Pacific for the 2009 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge – will attend the development
camp in Nanaimo from July 21-26, and the second intersquad game will hit the ice at the Port Alberni
Multiplex on July 25th.
PLANNED EVENTS INCLUDE:
2:00 p.m. – Coaches Hot Stove
This session, scheduled for the upper lounge at the Multiplex, will offer an opportunity for local
coaches and the media to chat with the Team Pacific coaching staff and gain some insight into BC Hockey’s

The province’s best U17 players will take to the ice for the second game of the Ted Hargreaves
