Oreskovic was signed by the 91原创-based WHL Vancouver Giants in May.

Giants B.C. Scout Kelly Kursteiner described Oreskovic as 鈥渁 strong two-way player who plays a consistent, 200-foot game.鈥

In June, Hartmann signed a WHL Standard Player Agreement with the Seattle Thunderbirds.

T-Birds Director of Player Personnel Cal Filson called Hartmann 鈥渄efensively sound [with] a great shot, along with a solid offensive zone awareness.鈥

Final 20-player rosters for the two B.C. teams were announced Dec. 18.

The process to select the female U18 Team BC began back in April, when 177 athletes participated in two open camps, in Salmon Arm and Richmond.

Head Coach Kris Hogg called it 鈥渢he hardest selection process I have been a part of, and each player gave it everything they had. Now we move ahead with more preparation heading into the Canada Winter Games and I am extremely excited to continue the growth of this group, on-and-off the ice, as we prepare for the biggest stage in P.E.I.鈥

Picking the Male U16 Team BC began back in March 2022, with 327 athletes participating in five regional camps, two in Vancouver, and one each of Penticton, Victoria and Prince George.

Male U16 Head coach Brad Bowen said 鈥渆ach spot on this team, the players have had to earn it, and I think that is what is going to make this team successful. The local club teams have done a great job developing these players and their skill set. Prep Camp was extremely competitive and the group came ready to compete. I think they are going to make this province very proud.鈥

will take place Feb. 18 to March 5, in Prince Edward Island.
