Press Release
Where: Bear Mountain Arena
When: 02/17/13 - 1:30pm puck drop
Who: Campbell River Storm vs Kerry Park Islanders
Why: This year at the AGM the
League voted to have a one game show down where the lowest seed from
each Division would have an opportunity in a “Wild Card Game” to get
into the VIJHL’s Playoffs.
Cost: $10 Entry
What’s at Stake: The winner of this game will compete as the fourth seed in the North Division.
Reason:
Allowing the top eight teams to compete in the VIJHL Play-offs is a
way for our teams coaches to utilize there full roster throughout the
season. The pressure on our clubs coaches is less significant in the
regular season; therefore they are encouraged to play everyone…. We feel
this is good for development!
End Result:
The VIJHL goal and purpose is the development of our players’ coaches
and officials. Primarily the bulk of our young men who are fortunate to
move up go on to the BCHL, some even end up in the WHL and we are also
starting to see players offered scholastic opportunities in the British
Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League.
