Grande Prairie hosts Bantam AAA All-Star game

Jan 15, 2018 | 10:15 AM

The best of the best was on display Saturday afternoon at the Coka-Cola Centre as the City of Grande Prairie hosted the Alberta Bantam AAA All-Star game.

Scouts from all over Western Canada were in attendance for the contest, including many teams from the Alberta Junior Hockey League, and Western Hockey League.

Graduating players from the Bantam level can get drafted in the Western Hockey League in their annual Bantam Draft which takes place in May and can be carded by Junior A hockey clubs so they maintain their rights.

Unfortunately for the fans in attendance, the contest wasn’t all that close as the South All-Stars earned a 13-2 win.

The Grande Peace Athletic Club Bantam AAA Storm had some representation in the game.

Forwards Wyatt Day and Jayden Watson both suited up for the North Division.
