Tournament starts Thursday
Former Victoria Royals goaltender Griffen Outhouse of the University of New Brunswick Red Sticks faces former Royals defenceman Brad Herauf of the Concordia Stingers today in Charlottetown to open the U Sports University Cup men’s national championship tournament in the least-appreciated brand of high-level hockey in the country.
Tyler Preziuso from Victoria, who played in the WHL with the Vancouver Giants, and former Royals forward Eric Florchuk are on the Canada West runner-up and No. 5 University of Alberta Golden Bears as they look to open Friday against the No. 4 University of Windsor Lancers. “U Sports is heavily scouted. It’s become a great stepping stone to the pros and you see more and more players moving up from U Sports to the AHL, ECHL, Europe and NHL,” said Price.
The University of Saskatchewan Huskies and UBC Thunderbirds lead post-secondary institutions this season with 28 WHL graduates each. That is followed by Mount Royal University with 25, Calgary Dinos with 22, the Golden Bears and University of Manitoba Bisons with 20 each and the MacEwan Griffins and University of Regina Cougars with 19 each.
