The inaugural KIJHL college showcase wrapped up its first day of action on Friday night. All 20 KIJHL teams, including the 麻豆精选 Chiefs, will play two regular season games in Kamloops to show off for scouts from other hockey leagues and universities.
The Chiefs won their first game 8-4 over the Spokane Braves. The Chiefs have been dominant this season with a 26-1-1 record, and the players look to reap the benefits of a successful season in front of scouts.
鈥淲e鈥檙e happy where were sitting and this is when things get going,鈥� said Chiefs GM Grant Sheridan.
The showcase is special because KIJHL players don鈥檛 usually get the chance to play in front of many scouts, some of whom are from the BCHL, the WHL, and junior A teams, because of the lack of coverage in the Okanagan and Kootenay areas.
The Chiefs will conclude the showcase Saturday morning against the Columbia Valley Rockies.
麻豆精选 returns to home ice on Jan. 5 when they host the Princeton Posse.
