Two Giants will be working with some of Canada's best U17 players this season.

Vancouver Giants General Manager Barclay Parneta will serve as the director of operations for one of Canada's two teams in the the 2024 U17 World Challenge tournament, which will be played Nov. 1-9 in Sarnia, Ontario.

His appointment was announced by Hockey Canada on July 12.

Giants Equipment Manager Cord Ivanco will also be guest equipment manager at Canada's national U17 development camp, which will take place July 18-24 in Oakville, Ont.

Players at this summer camp will compete for spots on Canada Black and Canada Red, who will both compete at the 2024 U17 World Challenge.

The roster for Canada鈥檚 U17 development camp will be announced at a later date.

It isn't the first time for Parneta, who held the same position at the 2023 World Under-17 Hockey Challenge, when he was director of operations for Team Red.

In that tournament, Giants forward Cameron Schmidt, playing for Canada White, potted the overtime winner in a 2-1 victory over the United States, helping Canada capture their first gold medal since 2015.
