The specific birth year and age range for players who are required to wear full face protection are as follows: (However, CJHL players, leagues, and teams have the option to implement these guidelines earlier if they choose to do so.)

2023-2024 season: 16, 17 and 18-year-old players

2024-2025 season: 16, 17, 18 and 19-year-old players

Question of the Week?

What makes a good showcase? ??

• Showcase size: You don't want to attend a showcase that is too large as you will get lost in the shuffle. An ideal size can be anywhere between 80 and 130 players. This will give you the opportunity to have more ice time and make a noticeable impact in games.

• Reputable organizers: Make sure the people running the showcase are reputable and legitimate. Ask around and look into their histories to ensure that the event is legitimate.

• Experienced coaches and scouts: The presence of experienced coaches and scouts from various levels of hockey adds credibility to the showcase. These professionals can provide valuable feedback to players and potentially identify prospects for further development or recruitment.

• Player development focus: A strong showcase recognizes the importance of player development. It may include workshops, skill sessions, or coaching clinics to help players refine their skills and learn new techniques or strategies.
