For the first time, Sault Ste. Marie will play host to the inaugural Soo Open ID on October 15 and 16, welcoming all players from Sault Ste Marie, Sudbury, Thunder Bay and surrounding areas to showcase their talent.
**THIS EVENT IS OPEN TO 2023-2028 GRADUATES (BORN 2004 TO 2009)**
Our staff will get an in-depth look at players from around the area by running a showcase day, followed by live games. PBR will provide Trackman, Blast Motion, Swift Technology, ProPlayAI updated profile headshots, shirts and more.
*By attending this event, players will qualify to be under consideration when we send out invitations to some of PBR’s biggest invite-only events such as the ProCase, Future Games, Northeast Senior Games, New York State Games, West Coast Games, PBR Canada Spring Training and more.*
This is a great event based on timing for high school seniors who are looking to play post-secondary ball, while schools are looking to put the final touches on their recruiting classes. It also serves as an easy way for younger players to get a taste of experiencing a showcase.
