If you watched any games at the annual Stoney Creek University Showcase tournament last year, you would have seen NCAA commits, national team members, U-18 national team stars, and a future wave of professionals.
From Chloe Primerano to Nela Lopusanova, last year's tournament was buzzing with anticipation, and the 2024 version of the tournament is set to do the same. In total, the tournament will welcome more than 150 players already committed to college programs, and hundreds more looking to earn a spot of their own.
Among the top programs in attendance again this year will be the Etobicoke Jr. Dolphins, Barrie Jr Sharks, Burlington Barracudas, John Abbott College, Philadelphia Jr. Flyers, RHA Kelowna, Bishop Kearney, and host Stoney Creek.
From Canada's U-18 selection camp this summer, more than 30 members of that camp will be playing in the tournament. 19 of 20 members of Canada's U-18 Select roster who played USA this summer are at the tournament, while 11 members of USA's U-18 national team from this summer will also compete.
It will be the first time a large number of the strong 2009 cohort make their appearance at the Junior level as well.
The tournament opens Friday, September 13.
