Scott, Leason embrace World Junior opportunity
Opportunity knocks for Raider forward Brett Leason and goaltender Ian Scott.
The two players said goodbye to their teammates after Sunday’s game in Saskatoon and headed west to Victoria to take part in Hockey Canada’s selection camp for the 2019 World Junior Championships which will be held in Vancouver and Victoria beginning on Boxing Day.
While Scott was in the spotlight for much of his career, having competed with Hockey Canada at the under-17 and under-18 levels, this is the first kick at the can for Leason in an international setting.
Coming off a 33-point campaign split between Tri-City and Prince Albert last year, the 6’4” forward has exploded onto the scene this year as he currently leads the entire Canadian Hockey League with 64 points in 31 games.
