With 33 players invited to camp to make Team Canada’s roster for the 2025 World Junior Hockey Tournament set to take place in Ottawa starting on Boxing Day, there will be a Prince Albert representative.
Tanner Howe has made the roster 25-man roster announced earlier this afternoon. He started the season as the captain of the Regina Pats before being traded to the Calgary Hitmen. In the six games since joining the Hitmen, Howe has managed at least one point in every game except the one game he played here in Prince Albert against the Raiders.
Howe was injured for a portion of the season and missed nearly the entire month of October. On the season, Howe has 9G-7A-16P in 16 games played. Howe was drafted and signed his entry-level contract in the NHL with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
Howe is one of four players joining the Canadian World Jr. Team for this year’s tournament, and the only one that is not from Saskatoon. Recently traded from the Moose Jaw Warriors to the Lethbridge Hurricanes, Brayden Yager will have the chance to represent Saskatchewan at the tournament as the Winnipeg Jets prospect also has ties to Prince Albert, having grown up and started playing in Hockeytown North.
