Raiders Prospects to Attend Under-16 Camps

Prince Albert SK – Five of the Prince Albert Raiders 2012 Bantam Draft Picks have been invited to attend their respective Provincial Under-16 camps in the coming weeks.

Westward, left-winger Matteo Gennaro, selected 41^st overall, defenceman Jordan Boulton, taken 89^th overall, and the Raiders 99^th overall pick, centre Dylan Stewart, will attend the Team Alberta Under-16 Summer Camp from July 16-22.

The Under-16 evaluation camps are the second stage of development and identification process that feeds provincial Under-16 teams and regional Under-17 teams. Following the provincial camp, players will be scouted with their club teams for the early portion of the season, before Team Alberta and Team Saskatchewan name their 20 player rosters for the Western Canada Under-16 Challenge in November.

The Raiders open up training camp on August 28^th, and kick off the regular season with the annual 900 CKBI Home Opener on Friday September 21^st. Call 764-GAME(4263) to get your season tickets!
