BC Hockey
Year in Review
2013-2014 Year in Review 1
2013-2014 was another exciting season for BC Hockey, associations and teams
across the province. As we prepare for the upcoming season, we reflect on the
past year’s successes and look forward to another sensational hockey season.
BC Hockey teams were back on the podium this season with the Beaver Valley
Nitehawks capturing the 2014 Keystone Cup, Western Canadian Junior B
Championship in Abbotsford, BC and the Okanagan Rockets bringing home the
province’s first bronze medal at the TELUS Cup. The Male U16 Team BC took
silver at the 2013 Western Canada U16 Challenge Cup and Vernon, BC hosted
the 2014 RBC Cup, the National Junior A Championship, for the second time.
BC players continue to represent the province and Canada at numerous National
and International events including the Winter Olympics, World Junior
Championship, Men’s and Women’s World Championship and Men’s and
Women’s Under 18 World Championships.

In a constantly changing technological and social environment, BC Hockey has
led Hockey Canada branches by launching the first mobile app of its kind. The
social media landscape continues to evolve and change the way we
communicate and BC Hockey is always looking at improving communications
about our programs and member successes through a wide variety of channels
to the membership and hockey public.
All the hard work and dedication of our volunteers is what helps BC Hockey
achieve great success on many levels. We are proud of our achievements this
season and look forward to creating many more as we continue to lead, develop
and promote positive lifelong hockey experiences.
