PRINCE GEORGE–Prince George Cougars’ goaltender Tyler Brennan has been chosen as one of the six goaltenders selected for the 2019 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge by Hockey Canada.
Brennan is one of 66 players selected to represent Canada at this year’s challenge. The 2003-born, Winnipeg product has played a pair of games this season for the Cougars and picked up his first Western Hockey League win in his first career WHL start on Oct. 5th against the Kelowna Rockets.
The 66 players will be split into three teams-Team Canada Black, Team Canada Red, and Team Canada White. The three teams will compete against the Czech Republic, Finland, Russia, Sweden, and the United States.
Brennan holds a 1.11 goals-against average and sports a .950 save percentage in just two games this season. “After a successful development camp with the top young players in the country, there were many difficult decisions made to select the 66 players that will compete at this year’s World Under-17 Hockey Challenge,” said Hockey Canada head Scout Brad McEwen. “We feel this group exemplifies that values of the Program of Excellence and will represent Canada with pride as we compete for a gold medal this November.”
