Northwest Hockey talent spreads out across Canada for 2016-17 season

Hockey is in full skate in many communities across British Columbia and Canada this fall and for many who once called the Northwest home, the opportunity to continue to play their sport at a high level continues along with their journey.

From Junior hockey at a number of levels to the competition found in the Canadian Inter-University sports league, former minor hockey players from Prince Rupert to Fort St. James are representing their hometowns and in many cases making for quite an impression.

For Prince Rupert hockey fans there are two names to be watching for from the sports reports out of the lower tiers of Junior hockey in the province, with Prince Rupert represented by a pair of players, Judd Repole and David Smith, who are playing in the Kootenay Junior and Vancouver Island Junior Leagues.

We will follow their progress below, updating the stats package roughly every two to three weeks.

The most recent date for the stats is listed as part of the review.

The anchor page for this update on the former Minor Hockey players of the Northwest can be found on our Prince Rupert Minor Hockey Association Archive page, the link to our PRMHA page is also found on our right hand column section.

Leagues that are included in our review below include:

WHL -- Western Hockey League
