rumor is the four atlantic u16 teams and at least two Quebec u16 teams will compete in a "showcase" tournament in the spring leading up to a team being picked from the Quebec and Maritimes to compete in the U17 worlds.Team will be representing Eastern Canada.Team atlantic will be no more.
Thats quite a change if true. A lot of Atlantic prospects will be left off rosters potentially if they go that route. Having said that, the brand of hockey that team can bring to the tournament would be much greater than the current team que / team atl format. It may in the end benefit the players that get selected more since they can be showcased deeper into the tournament medal round.
