2021 Team Alberta U16
Summer selection camp, normally held in July was moved to August after AHS restrictions were lifted. The week long camp was broken into three, two-day camps divided by region. The camp is the first step in the identification process for the WHL Cup, slated for October of 2021. Following summer camp, a select number of athletes moved on to a Provincial Camp held September 17-19.
Alberta takes silver at 2021 WHL Cup
Another Team Alberta comeback fell just short on Sunday, as Team BC took gold at the 2021 WHL Cup with a 5-2 win.
After a scoreless opening period, BC got on the board first just over a minute into the second period, before Gavin Garland evened things up with his third of the tournament five minutes later.
BC would score again late in the second, and took a 2-1 lead into the third after netminder Jesse Sanche stopped Alberta forward Zane Saab on a penalty shot.
Five minutes into the third, BC took a 3-1 lead, but Alberta made it a one goal game once again as Garrett Thom scored on a short-handed breakaway with just over five minutes to go in regulation.
BC shut the door from there, and scored two empty-net goals to take it 5-2.
Netminder Madden Mulawka stood tall in goal for Team Alberta, stopping 32 of 35 shots, while his counterpart Sanche made 30 saves for the win.
Mulawka was named Alberta’s Player of the Game for the second straight day, while defenceman Keith McInnis was named a WHL Cup All-Star for his efforts throughout the tournament.
