Charlottetown – Hockey PEI will be well represented this coming weekend at the 14th Annual Atlantic Challenge Cup. The annual event showcases the best players in Atlantic Canada representing their respective provinces.
Twenty teams will converge on the Tim Horton’s 4 Ice Centre in Moncton, New Brunswick looking for an Atlantic Championship. The Atlantic Challenge Cup is the “Best of the Best” competition for Atlantic Canada’s top Under 15 and Under 17 Female, as well as the top Under 14, Under 15 and Under 16 Male Players.
Provincial teams from New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island, will compete in the round robin event. Over 400 players, in five age divisions, will represent their province with pride and compete for the title of Atlantic Champion. The Atlantic Challenge Cup is the culmination of the High Performance Programs in each of the aforementioned provinces. The High Performance Program at the provincial level has provided the players, staffs, and officials with an opportunity to develop, learn and challenge themselves as they strive for excellence.
Hockey PEI’s development process began in April and will conclude with the Atlantic Challenge Cup. The players and staff continue to train and prepare as they await the opportunity to challenge themselves against their counterparts from the other Atlantic Provinces.
