For Immediate Release

December 4, 2024

Saanichton, BC – BC Hockey, in partnership with Hockey Canada, is excited to announce that the online 50/50 will return for British Columbians during the 2025 World Junior Championship, hosted in Ottawa, Ontario, from December 26, 2024, to January 5, 2025.

Individuals who are aged 19 and older and are physically located in the province of British Columbia at the time of purchase will be eligible for the 50/50 draw. Fans will be able to purchase 50/50 tickets from their mobile device, tablet or computer during the purchasing window.

All funds raised from the 50/50 draws will remain in British Columbia, and will be invested directly back into local initiatives by BC Hockey and the Hockey Canada Foundation, with a focus on initiation and U7 programs, for the growing number of new participants in our game.

“We’re excited to once again offer the online 50/50 draw for hockey fans across British Columbia during this year’s IIHF World Juniors,” said Cameron Hope, BC Hockey’s Chief Executive Officer. “It’s a fantastic way for supporters to contribute to the growth of hockey at the grassroots level, all while having the chance to win big during such an exciting tournament season.”
