RED DEER - Hockey Alberta is excited to announce the dates for the 2025 Spring Showcase.
The three-week event features the Alberta Cup (April 23-27), Alberta Challenge (April 30-May 4), and Prospects Cup (May 7-11), and is returning to the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre at Red Deer Polytechnic.
For the Alberta Challenge and Prospects Cup, this is the first step for athletes entering into the Team Alberta program. For Alberta Cup athletes, it is an opportunity for players to showcase their talents in hopes of being invited to U16 Team Alberta Summer Camp and ultimately representing Team Alberta at the 2025 WHL Cup.
Prior to the spring competitions, regional camps are hosted at various locations across Alberta to identify the players who will compete at each event. Each regional camp includes three virtual sessions from guest speakers to prepare players for the camp, a jersey and four ice-sessions. Dates and locations for regional camps are outlined below.
Applications are now being accepted from individuals interested in volunteering as a team staff member for any of the three events. Application deadline is October 30. Interested applicants should fill out the form(s) located at the applicable link(s) below.
