OLDS – Two Olds and area teens are among 80 from across the province invited to the 2025 Team Alberta Male Under-16 Summer Camp taking place this summer.
Hockey Alberta announced Wednesday that Jaxon Jaffray and Noah Ulry are among the 48 forwards invited to the July 1-6 camp in Red Deer. Another 24 defencemen and eight goalies were also invited.
The players, all born in 2010 and participated in a Hockey Canada-sanctioned program this season, are vying for a spot on the roster that is competing in the 2025 WHL Cup.
Jaffray and Ulry were among the select few to play in the 2025 Alberta Cup held in April which served as a player evaluation process for selecting Team Alberta to compete at the WHL Cup in October.
“As a group, we were impressed with the level of skill and compete that we saw at the Alberta Cup and throughout the season.” said Mike Kraichy, Hockey Alberta’s high performance manager, in a May 8 press release. “We are excited to get the group into Red Deer in July as we move to the next phase of the process.”
According to Hockey Alberta, selections were determined based on the Team Alberta scouting process throughout the 2024-25 season and the 2025 Alberta Cup.
From summer camp, a short list is going to be set, and those players are going to be scouted with their club teams until the 20 player-roster is named.
Both Olds and area teens played with the Red Deer Rebels U15 AAA team for the 2024-25 season.
