2024 Team Alberta U16
Team Alberta showed that even when things got difficult, there was never a time to back down or quit. A 8-1 win in a rematch of last year’s final against Team Manitoba left Team Alberta as champions of the WHL Cup for the sixth time in team history.
The first period kicked off with Mirco Dufour (Rocky View County) opening the scoring to give Team Alberta the lead. Matthew Hilderman (Cochrane), Brock England (Airdrie), Jensen Marsh (Cochrane) and Nathan Cole (Airdrie) added on to the unanswered lead in the second period. Manitoba would get one back close to the end of the second period. Kyle Obobaifo (Calgary) and Jaggar John (Fort McMurray, 2) found the back of the net in the third period to extend the lead for Team Alberta. Leif Oaten (Calgary) made 16 saves in the win. England was awarded the MVP of the WHL Cup.
