The North Bay Battalion are bringing 32 prospects to the city this weekend.

Assistant General Manager Matt Rabideau says the Orientation Camp is a chance for those new draft picks to try and crack the roster.

Rabideau says it’s a great opportunity for the parents to meet people in the organization and get acquainted with where their son will be spending the year playing hockey.

The on-ice sessions are free to the public to attend.

They take place at Memorial Gardens from 3-5pm tomorrow and 9am-11am on Sunday.

 

Meantime, Powassan Voodoos forward and Battalion prospect Steven Harland has been named to the first-ever CJHL All-Star Team.

Harland was both the NOJHL’s most valuable player and rookie of the year.

He played a part in 44 percent of the Voodoos’ 213 regular season goals.

Harland scored 42 goals and 53 assists last season.

 

And in NDA senior boys soccer, Algonquin scored a 2-0 win over West Ferris in their quarterfinal matchup.

Nick Besner and Brady Hardwick scored for the Barons while Malik Douglass had the clean sheet.

Elsewhere, Chippewa won their quarterfinal 3-0 over Franco Cite.

And in varsity girls soccer, Widdifield shutout Franco 1-0.

The Wildcats Alyssa Randall scored the lone goal of the game.
