RED DEER – Hockey Alberta has named the 120 athletes who will represent their regions at the 2025 Alberta Cup.
Two teams from each of the North, Central, and South regions will face off against each other in a modified round-robin tournament taking place in Red Deer at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre from April 23 to 27. Teams are comprised of the top male athletes from across the province, with each of the six teams roster including two goaltenders, six defencemen, and 12 forwards.
Athletes gathered at three Regional Camps over the weekend (March 28-30) in Calgary, Red Deer and Spruce Grove. Male players born in 2010 who participated in Hockey Canada-sanctioned programs this season were eligible to try out.
“There were a lot of very talented kids from across the province who tried out for the Alberta Cup program,” said Blake Cosgrove, Hockey Alberta’s Manager of Elite Hockey Development. “While the Alberta Cup’s focus is player development, it is also a great opportunity to evaluate players for our U16 Team Alberta. We are very excited for this 2010 age group to showcase themselves at the Alberta Cup and future Hockey Alberta events.
The Alberta Cup Provides players and staff with an opportunity to experience elite-level play in a short-term competition and is part of the player evaluation process for selecting Team Alberta to compete at the WHL Cup in October.
Hockey Alberta’s Spring Showcase kicks off with the Alberta Cup. The Alberta Challenge (May 1-4) and the Prospects Cup (May 9-11) will also be played in Red Deer at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre.
There are still limited partnership opportunities available for the 2025 Spring Showcase! The remaining assets can be found in the document below:

The Alberta Cup aids in the identification and selection of potential players for Hockey Alberta’s Team Alberta program, with hundreds of players annually trying out for 120 spots (20 positions on each of the six regional teams). In addition to player development, the Alberta Cup also features opportunities for administrators, referees, coaches, therapists, and equipment managers to be identified for potential positions at higher-level events such as the World U17 Hockey Challenge.
