Sunday:

The showcase will also feature an All-Star game for Midget aged players in the All Peace Hockey League. That game will go at 10 a.m. on Sunday.

The North West Junior Hockey League has started holding a showcase weekend in an effort to bring scouts from Junior ‘A’ leagues, like the AJHL, and the NCAA together in one location to get to see all of the league’s teams and players in one location over a single weekend.

If you can’t make it down to the Sportsplex this weekend, the Friday’s All-Star game and the six league games this weekend will be live streamed on the NWJHL YouTube channel.
