Former Prince George residents Ward Pateman and Alex Teichroeb have been chosen to officiate games at the 2010 World Junior A Hockey Challenge.
Pateman and Teichroeb, who have relocated to Kelowna, will work as linesmen at the event, Nov. 8-14 in Penticton. Both honed their on-ice skills here before they moved south.
The tournament will bring together six teams -- Canada West, Canada East, the United States, Russia, Switzerland and Sweden.
Former Prince George Cougars forward Clarke Breitkreuz, now with the Yorkton Terriers of the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, will skate for Canada West.
