Canada Winter Games

Held every four years, the Canada Winter Games are a showcase of the best under-16 players in the country, representing their home province. Men’s hockey debuted at the inaugural Canada Games in 1967, with the University of Alberta beating the University of B.C. to win the first gold medal.

The tournament replaced the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge every four years through the 1990s and 2000s, before it became a U16 event in 2011. Ontario (6G 2S 2B) and Alberta (4G 4S 3B) have owned the top of the podium, combining for 10 of the 15 gold medals, and seven different provinces have earned at least one medal. The star-studded alumni list is headed by Sidney Crosby, who wore the ‘C’ for Nova Scotia in 2003.
