Okanagan players and coaches named to BCHC Prospects Game

Osoyoos Coyotes head coach Jackson Playfair will lead one of the two teams at the British Columbia Hockey Conference Prospects Game later this month, with seven players from South Okanagan and Similkameen clubs also on the rosters.

The Delta Ice Hawks will host the game Tuesday, Nov. 24, at Sungod Arena in Delta, with puck drop at 6:30 p.m.

Playfair will coach Team White, which includes three of his Coyotes: forwards Hudson Podollan, of Vernon, and Jevyn Gill, of Vancouver, and goaltender Kole Anderosov, of Campbell River. Princeton Posse forward Marcus Domhof, of Williams Lake, is also on Team White.

Posse head coach Colin Minardi will serve as an assistant coach for Team Black. His roster includes Posse forward Eric Wagman, of Calgary, and Posse defenceman Andrew Misson, a Penticton product.

Coyotes forward Ollie Reid, of Coldstream, rounds out the Okanagan contingent on Team Black.

The BCHC is in its first season as a Junior A league, made up of former Kootenay International Junior Hockey League and Pacific Junior Hockey League teams.

Tickets are sold online only, through Showpass, with no sales at the door. The conference said it expects a sellout.
