THE WESTERN PROSPECTS BANTAM SHOWCASE IS THE ONLY EVENT THAT SHOWCASES ONE SINGLE BIRTH YEAR, PRIOR TO THE WHL BANTAM DRAFT, IN FRONT OF WHL SCOUTS.

As you complete your bantam eligibility, you face the opportunity to be selected in the Western Hockey League Bantam Draft. The Western Prospects Bantam Showcase will allow you to go head-to-head with other 2006’s from across Western Canada and the United States who are also entering their Bantam Draft year. In previous camps, players have displayed their talents in front of personnel from  Western Hockey League teams. In addition we have seen a variety of scouts, coaches and managers from a number of different leagues, which include Junior ‘A’, Junior ‘B’, Midget ‘AAA’ and Prep Schools. 

History indicates there will be scouts in attendance in 2020. There is no other camp that gives one single age group the opportunity to be the complete focus. Western Prospects Bantam Showcase staff will provide players our undivided attention and give the opportunity to “show their stuff” against their peers.         

The Western Prospects Bantam Showcase also includes WHL Combine Testing. WHL Combine Testing consists of on-ice and off-ice testing sessions featuring the same comprehensive tests performed at all WHL Combine Testing events including the Sherwin-Williams CHL/NHL Top Prospects Game, WHL Team Testing, Provincial High Performance Camps, the WHL U.S. Combine Camp powered by Under Armour, and more.
