Prince George Cougars centre Riley Heidt received devastating news, as he has been cut from Team Canada's roster for the upcoming Ottawa tournament. This shocking decision leaves fans and teammates alike wondering what the future holds for this talented young player.
Hockey enthusiasts from across Canada tune in every year to watch the most promising young players compete in the esteemed tournament, held in Ottawa from December 26th to January 5th. Heidt, a rising star in the Prince George Cougars, was poised to represent Team Canada on the international stage but will now have to observe the competition from the sidelines.
On a more uplifting note, the crowd will still have the opportunity to see the incredible skills of McBride defenceman Tanner Molendyk who made the cut to wear the iconic maple leaf in this year's event. Molendyk, no doubt, has his family, friends, and community beaming with pride as he gets ready to embark on this monumental experience.
