Featuring Canucks, Flames, Oilers and Jets prospects

The Vancouver Canucks will host the 2015 Young Stars Classic for the fifth year at the South Okanagan Events Centre in Penticton, running from Friday, September 11 to Monday, September 14.

The four-team tournament will feature prospects from the Canucks, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers and Winnipeg Jets. Tickets for the tournament will go on sale on July 10 at 10 am.

“This is high-level hockey – fast, very skilled, hard-hitting and intense,” says Event Chair and Penticton Mayor Andrew Jakubeit. “It really is a must-see event for hockey fans looking to take in NHL-calibre hockey. This signature festival generates significant economic activity for Penticton and neighbouring communities, as well as the energy and exposure that four Canadian NHL teams bring to our doorstep.”

“We have great fans all over B.C. and we’re excited to once again host the Young Stars Classic in beautiful Penticton, B.C.,” said Trevor Linden, Canucks President of Hockey Operations. “This is an excellent event for fans in the Okanagan and gives us a platform to further develop and assess our prospects in competitive games.”
