DARTMOUTH – Hockey Nova Scotia announced today the rosters of the four teams that will represent the province at the 2021 Atlantic Challenge Cup in Moncton, N.B. this fall.

The four rosters were selected following thorough evaluations during the 2021 High Performance Program camps at the RBC Centre in Dartmouth, N.S. this month.

“We want to thank all of the players for their efforts over the past two weekends as our camps got back up and running,” Hockey Nova Scotia High Performance Director Darren Sutherland said.

“After the pandemic forced the cancellation of our programs last year, we were very pleased able to get our players back on the ice this summer.”

Hundreds of players from across the province hit the ice during the male under-14, female under-16, male under-15, and female under-18 camps during the month of August.

“Although we only select a roster of 20 players at each level, it is our goal that everyone comes away from the camp having enjoyed their experience and having progressed in their own on and off-ice development,” Sutherland said.
