It’s the first time in the 56-year history of the Canada Games three Prince George minor hockey products have made the cut for the B.C. provincial boys U-15 hockey team.
Ryder Green, Chase Harrington and Cameron Schmidt have different hockey backgrounds but they all grew up in Prince George and now they’re united on Team BC.
The 15-year-old Green’s rise to the top of the provincial chart as one of two goalies on Team BC is even more remarkable considering he’s played the game for only five years and this is just his second season playing on competitive hockey. He made the switch from soccer, where he was not a goalie, and in his first season last year with the U-15 Cariboo Cougars, he impressed the WHL scouts enough to get drafted in the eighth round by the Brandon Wheat Kings.
Schmidt and Harrington, both forwards, started playing hockey long before Green, when they were just toddlers and they now play in the Canadian Sports School Hockey League on academy teams. Schmidt plays for RINK Academy Kelowna U-18 Prep and Harrington skates for the Delta Academy U-18 Prep and. Both figured prominently in last year’s WHL Prospects Draft. Schmidt was selected seventh overall by the Vancouver Giants and Harrington followed as the eighth overall pick of the Spokane Chiefs.
The six-foot, 170-pound Harrington has 12 goals and 33 points in 24 games this season for Delta Academy. He made his WHL debut Oct. 22 for the Chiefs against the Seattle Thunderbirds, where he was roundly booed by the Seattle crowd of 3,400 while he took his rookie initiation warmup laps on the ice ahead of his teammates.
Schmidt and Harrington played spring hockey together last year and represented B.C. at the World Youth Championship in Philadelphia. The chance to play in the Canada Games is a career highlight.
