Brick Invitational Hockey

2017 Team Profiles

Team Brick Alberta

  The 2017 edition of Team Brick Alberta comprises of 20 exceptional Athletes from all over Alberta. Their journey to get to this point started on January the 2nd 2017 in Chestemere, Alberta where the top 80 prospects competed in an evaluation camp. The staff then journeyed north to Spruce Grove where we held the top 80 prospects camps on January the 4th 2017. After deep deliberation the staff identified the top 44 players based on the two camps and we held a combine in Penhold Alberta March 24-26th 2017. The combine consisted of: off-ice testing, team practices, skill practices, team building and games. The combine gave the staff the ability to evaluate the players in all environments that we feel are conducive to build a successful team. That brings us to this exceptional group of athletes you see today that were successful through the process. Our team motto is Row the Boat (One Goal One Direction). We wish all the teams good luck in the 2017 Brick Invitational.
