96 born Prep Camper Brandon McReynolds made the Aboriginal Team BC again this past April and competed at the National Aboriginal Hockey Championships held in Brossard and Kahnawake Quebec from 28 April to 04 May. Team BC made the medal rounds for the first time in the history of the event and went on to win the GOLD medal. Brandon scored the game winning goal in the GOLD medal game. He also set up the tying goal in the semi-final game with 1:23 left in the game on a beautiful 2 on 1 give and go!! Check out his profile video:
Through that experience Brandon has been chosen to participate in the made for TV event Hit the Ice.
“Hit The Ice is a youth series that will see dreams come true as the best young male Aboriginal hockey players come together for a 2-week NHL-like training camp. From physical training, on ice drills and different team building activities, these 20 prospects will experience the highs and lows of a professional calibre training camp and will grow not only as a team but also as men. Our hopefuls will be tested and measured and the lessons they will learn during this experience will resonate for a lifetime.
Their ultimate payoff will be to showcase their skills playing against a mystery team under the scrutinizing eyes of real life junior scouts. Will their performance be enough to grant them an invite to a junior training camp? For many this could be the chance of a lifetime and a stepping-stone to the pros.” (From Hit the ice website, www.hittheice.tv)
