<p>Penticton and the South Okanagan Events Centre serves as the home of the Young Stars Classic, a tournament showcasing the best young players that the Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, Edmonton Oilers &#8212; and, of course, Vancouver Canucks &#8212; have to offer. This year&#8217;s tournament will take place immediately before training camp from September 13-16 in Penticton.</p>
<p>“Staying in Penticton for training camp following Young Stars makes perfect sense for our organization,” said Jim Rutherford, the Canucks&#8217; president of hockey operations. “The facilities are first class, the fans in the interior are very passionate and the players, coaches and staff really enjoy what the city and region has to offer. Our hockey club is committed to growing the game province wide and we really enjoy taking our camp to different cities in British Columbia. We look forward to connecting with our fan base in the Okanagan and using these on ice sessions to set the standard and put in place the structure needed for the start of another season.”</p>
<p>In recent years, the Canucks have held their training camp in Abbotsford, Whistler, and most recently, Victoria. The Canucks&#8217; practice sessions will be open to the public, with a Team Blue vs Team White scrimmage set for Sunday.</p>
<p>“We’re excited to welcome the Vancouver Canucks to Penticton for their training camp,” said Dean Clarke, General Manager of the South Okanagan Events Centre. “This camp is a fantastic way to celebrate our partnership with the Canucks, which has spanned over a decade, and gives our community a unique opportunity to see NHL players in action, showcasing world-class hockey right here in the Okanagan. Hosting such prestigious events highlights our facility and Penticton’s charm, and we eagerly anticipate the energy and excitement they will bring. We look forward to continuing this successful partnership and bringing more events like this in the future.”</p>
