News Article: No 2019 Young Stars Classic

[Lindgren]

Canucks Army reports that there won't be a "Young Stars" tournament in Penticton this summer.

The YoungStars Classic won’t happen in 2019

It's hard to get worked up about it now, but when the date comes around I'll be disappointed.

Well that kinda stinks.

 

[NoShowWilly]

they need to do a rotation.

 

[M2Beezy]

Still got pre season so theres that

 

[VanJack]

The absence of the Alberta NHL teams was basically the death-knell for this tournament. Sucks for the Penticton economy. I guess the only chance to see some the more promising prospects will be if training camp is expanded, and they get into a few exhibition games.

Will they not try to do something else with more teams

Wasn't it Brian Burke doing the whining for Calgary. They pulled out when they didn't get it in Calgary.

I think that Calgary,Edmonton have valid points...The tournament should have alternated between provinces.

Seems reasonable, they could have done something like that but it was a great event for Penticton. It wasn't exactly a home tourney for Vancouver either. It's about as close to Calgary and Edmonton as Vancouver so i don't know how they're being so wrongly done by. I think it has more to do with Albertans being Vindictive about the pipe line.

Lots of Flames and Oilers fans in Penticton. Brian Burke ruining stuff for other people because he’s bitter isn’t anything new. Him and Alberta were made for eachother.

They left the tourney much before the pipeline issue though

Jeff Paterson is reporting that the Canucks prospects will play in the Alberta event in September. It's not Penticton, but at least they'll get a couple of games in (and we'll get some reports, though not as many first-hand ones).

It’s amusing how this weak organization gets bullied on everything.

Absolute laughing stock of the league with rubber spines.

Must make another team management’s week when they get to call Jim and Co.

Canucks weren't sharing the profits (which were minimal I think).

Having a rotation would still be good.

Sounds like the beginning of a rotation. This one in AB, maybe next than back to BC. Each year one team gets to choose the locale.

Seems like it.

Pentictan had a long run with the Canucks profiting... They'll probably be in Alberta for the next couple yrs now till Seattle arrives and builds a prospect pool....
