RED DEER – Hockey Alberta is excited to announce the return of the Spring Showcase in 2027.
The three-week event, which features the Alberta Cup, Alberta Challenge, and Prospects Cup will be returning to the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre at Red Deer Polytechnic in April and May.
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 2027 WHL Cup.
Prior to the spring competitions, regional tryout camps will be hosted throughout the province for players to register and attend.
Applications for coach, trainer and coach mentor positions are now open for all three events. Applications are to be submitted via the links below, and are being accepted until November 3.
