|

| |
Hockey PEI along with Hockey Canada has been provided the opportunity of sending one male player to Innsbruck, Austria, for the 2012 Youth Olympic Games. The Youth Olympic Games are an International Olympic Committee (IOC) initiative that is supported by the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF).
The tournament will run from January 13-22, 2012. The chosen athlete will participate in an elite level competition and alongside the sports element of the event, will participate in Culture and Education Programs. This unique opportunity is open to all male members of Hockey PEI born in 1996 from across Prince Edward Island.
Hockey PEI will nominate one goalie, one defenseman and one forward to Hockey Canada, who possesses top end playing skills, excellent social skills and attitude both on and off the ice. Hockey Canada will then choose one lucky player randomly from the three Hockey PEI nominations. The chosen player must be willing to maintain a diary and complete a post event report.
The IOC and IIHF Youth Olympics is a once in a lifetime opportunity says Gene Power, President of Hockey PEI. “This tournament is a cultural experience as much as it is a hockey experience. The selected player will be given a chance to travel abroad to play the game he loves in an international atmosphere. This will not only expose the player to international competition but will also give him a chance to interact and learn from people all over the world.”
Interested players can go to the Hockey PEI website at www.hockeypei.com to download a player application form and information sheet. Applicants are required to submit a “one page” essay and provide two letters of reference. The application deadline is Friday, July 15th at 4 pm.
