Victoria hosts Prince George on Friday and Saturday
Prince George Cougars goaltender Ty Young’s last appearance in the Save-on-Foods Memorial Centre crease proved productive last weekend during Vancouver Canucks training camp as Young was signed to an NHL entry-level contract.
The six-foot-three goaltender from Coaldale, Alta., was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NHL draft by the Canucks, and will be looking to stymie the Royals in Victoria’s Western Hockey League home openers tonight and Saturday. “We’ve got to get bodies in front of [Young]. We’ve got a lot of big forwards on this team now and we’ve got to get in front of his eyes. That limits his ability to see the puck and pucks will find their way through.”
“Trying to box out a guy like [six-foot-three, 235-pound Wild forward] Pat Maroon from in front of the net was a big wake-up call for me,” said Parker, the 2023 Wild sixth-round draft pick, who represented Canada in the IIHF world U-18 championship in Germany.To make it from NHL rookie camp to main camp is a big deal for juniors like Parker and Young.“Training with those older guys, and trying to learn from every single thing they do, was pretty cool.
