BC HOCKEY CELEBRATES SANCTIONED HOCKEY
BY MARIO ANNICCHIARICO
BC Hockey is turning to a series of cartoons, to be released in early November, to help depict the celebration of sanctioned hockey and its benefits.
The six-cartoon series will illustrate the advantages and benefits that BC Hockey members receive through sanctioned hockey and will be found on its website – www.bchockey.net – and social media platforms, Facebook, Instagram and X (formerly Twitter).
“These comics are a light-hearted way to highlight how sanctioned hockey prioritizes the game, and the whole experience for all participants. Players and families are often unaware of how much goes into the work of ensuring a safe, supportive, fun, and ideal skill-development experience for all,” BC Hockey CEO Cameron Hope said.
“We are a non-profit, with no motive except to create great hockey pathways. We have more than a century of delivering this game so that players and families enjoy peace of mind, knowing that our game is fair and safe, and provides the actual best pathways for all, whether they hit the ice just for fun or to grow and excel at our game.
“It is built on trust, with a coast-to-coast system that stands behind its promises, on-and-off the ice,” added Hope.
The first comic will be posted on November 5th.
