WC Inferno camp dates

WEST CARLETON – The West Carleton Inferno Junior C hockey team has announced its prospect and summer camp dates.

While the National Capital Junior Hockey League (NCJHL) team is not exactly sure where it will be playing regular season games this season, it still needs a team to ice when the season starts. And that work starts Aug. 3.

Last week (May 20) West Carleton Online broke the story Inferno owner John Miotla was considering a move to Almonte after making a presentation to Mississippi Mills council.

While that hasn’t been finalized, the NCJHL is moving forward with the plans to hold a season this year, after last year’s was wiped out by COVID-19.

The first step for the Inferno will be its 2021 summer conditioning scrimmages starting Tuesday, Aug. 3 for the next five weeks. On Saturday, Aug. 14, the Inferno will hold a one-day 2021 Prospects Camp.

“In collaboration with the Valley Centennials Spring/Summer Hockey Program, our popular weekly summer scrimmages are back for 2021,” the Inferno released in a statement.

If re-opening rules permit an earlier date, the team also has July ice times booked.

The prospects camp is open to interested players born between 2001 and 2005.

 “Free agents and new prospects welcome,” the Inferno said.
