By Chris Kemlo and George Halim
Ontario Scouting Director and PBR Scout
From August 4th through August 6th, PBR Ontario took a select team of players in the Classes of 2018 and 2019 to represent Ontario at the PBR Future Games in Westfield Indiana at Grand Park.
Players received exposure unlike any other event for underclassmen. Last year, 100+ colleges from all over the country were in attendance, including coaches from every Division I power conference in the country. Only players who have a legitimate shot at being a Division I recruit and who have an interest in the possibility of making a verbal commitment during their sophomore or junior seasons have been considered.
