The Vancouver Canucks finished the 2016 Young Stars with a 1-1-1 record. But in a tournament like this, it isn’t the record that matters.
This tournament is about prospects showing what they can do, and proving that they deserve to receive an invite to training camp.

But a few players showed that they still need time in the minors or in junior hockey to develop and fine-tune their game before making the jump to the big leagues.
