The Blind River Beavers try-out in Sudbury at the Countryside Arena May 13th is a prelude to where we are going from there as players who show the talent and desire to make the team will be invited to join our own team of prospects at the TEP Prospect Showcase Tournament as part of the team we have entered this coming June 23-25 at the Scotia Bank Pond in Toronto. We will have our own coaches doing our games and it will give perspective prospects & their parents an opportunity to experience us as well as us evaluating them for a possible spot on our 2017/18 roster.
