RED DEER – 36 volunteers have been selected to lead the six teams competing at the 2023 Alberta Cup.
The staffing complement for each team includes a director of operations, coach mentor, head coach, two assistant coaches, and trainer. The Alberta Cup is a core Hockey Alberta Elite Development program that provides athletes, staff and on-ice officials an opportunity to grow for the next step in their hockey journey.
Red Deer will host the Alberta Cup at the Gary W. Harris Canada Games Centre April 26-30. The province is divided into North and South regions, with three teams selected from each region. Male athletes born in 2008, playing in a Hockey Canada sanctioned program, are eligible to try out.
The Alberta Cup process will begin in March, with players trying out at their respective regional camps. Regional camps will take place March 31 – April 2 in Calgary, Red Deer, and Spruce Grove. Details regarding the regional camps will be released in the new year.
