91裸聊视频淭he whole idea of the tournament was not only to give exposure to those kids, but also to bring some of the top 16-17-year-olds in from Alberta that are interested in playing in the BCHL, and give them a chance to be scouted by the interior division of the rest of the BCHL as well,91裸聊视频� Evers said.

The tournament will draw a lot of interest for players born in 2006, as the Western Hockey League (WHL) draft is taking place on Dec. 9, he said.

Delta U17 Prep and RINK Kelowna U18 Prep already have 91裸聊视频渘umerous amounts of first and second-round draft picks in those programs,91裸聊视频� Evers said.
