Owen Wareham is one of the Dauphin Kings top prospects. Last season he had 37 points in 54 games with Yellowhead and a lot of his summer has been preparing for the team's upcoming main camp.

On top of his preparations for camp, Owen has been spending a ton of time on the baseball field and for good reason. The Rivers native is on Team Manitoba as they take part in the BIGS Seeds Baseball Canada Cup, in Regina. 

Manitoba is joined by Quebec, Ontario, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Alberta, Newfound & Labrador, and Prince Edward Island at the 17U tournament featuring all the best young ballplayers in the country.

"Yeah, it's a real honour getting the chance to represent the province," said Wareham, from his hotel room. "It's great getting to know all these great ballplayers. It's been fun playing with them."

The team started off their tournament by thumping Newfoundland yesterday 13-3. They will play two more games today and one each tomorrow and Saturday which wraps up their round-robin play. 

"It's good to see that all of the training and practices are paying off," he added. "I think we believe that we're a good team and we'll have a chance at this thing."

Owen didn't play in the team's first game. He will play as today rolls on and he's excited for the opportunity to show off what he can do.

"I'm just going to try as hard as I can and make the smart plays," he added. "My goal is to help this team in any way I can."

The gold medal will be up for grabs on Sunday night.

Hockey:

When it comes to getting back on the ice, Wareham will call Credit Union Place his home later this month for Kings camp. After a solid season with Yellowhead and good spring camp, Wareham's goal is to continue opening eyes.

"It's a pretty exciting time and it's definitely another thing in the back of my head," he added.

"I'll try as hard as I can and the organization will decide what players they want," he concluded.
