Edmonton Green captured the championship crown at the inaugural ATB Alberta Peewee Prospects Cup on Sunday, defeating South Black, 4-2, in the A Final.
The victory was actually Edmonton Green’s second win over South Black in the tournament, as the teams had met in round-robin pool play action on Thursday, when Green won 4-3. Green went through the tournament undefeated, winning over Calgary Red and North Blue in the other preliminary games, and then defeating Edmonton Royal, 3-1 in the semi-finals.
In the other final games on Sunday, Edmonton Royal defeated North Grey, 5-2; South Yellow defeated North Blue, 4-2; and Calgary Red defeated Calgary White 5-3.
This was the first year that Hockey Alberta has hosted the ATB Alberta Peewee Prospects Cup, for 2002-born athletes, as a part of the Team Alberta program. The event was held at the OldsSportsplex, and players were selected based on their performance at tryout camps held in April. The tournament also provided the opportunity for interested coaches, trainers, coach mentors, officials and administrators to work with a talented group of young athletes.
