There will not be a Young Stars Classic in Penticton this year
Hockey fans in the South Okanagan won’t be happy to hear the news announced by the Vancouver Canucks today.
The annual Young Stars Classic in Penticton is no more, at least for now, after the Canucks and Seattle Kraken entered into a multi-year agreement for an annual prospect showcase between the two franchises.
It will begin in September 2025 with two games in Seattle, with additional games in Abbotsford planned for the fall of 2026.
Sadly, this means there will be no Young Stars Classic in Penticton in 2025, and likely 2026, but Canucks president Jim Rutherford didn’t close the door on future events in the Okanagan.
“Unfortunately, we were unable to secure commitments from the other teams for next fall, so regrettably, we will not be hosting a Penticton Young Stars Classic in 2025,” Rutherford explained.
