Simon Fraser Men’s Hockey organization is pleased to announce the first annual Great Northwest Showcase.

The event will feature Simon Fraser University, University of British Columbia Thunderbirds, Arizona State University Sun Devils, and the Oklahoma University Sooners.

SFU Men’s Hockey is proud to host the inaugural event in Burnaby, British Columbia, during the Christmas break.

The event will feature four games over two days at Bill Copeland Sports Centre, showcasing the talent of local university hockey athletes against two elite teams from very well-known American institutions in the sporting world.

The event format is designed to allow maximum exposure of the visiting teams while showing the level of skill that the SFU and UBC teams possess.

Those involved with the event hope to gauge the interest from the local community for university hockey. “This has the potential to be a great hockey and educational event in our own back yard, showcasing what college hockey is all about,” says SFU Head Coach Mark Coletta. “Having schools like Arizona State and the Sooners on board is an incredible opportunity, our players and staff are all very excited to see how we stack up.”
