Burnaby Winter Club Hockey - BWC Main - Current Events

Burnaby Winter Club Minor Hockey Association
“Where Tradition Inspires Excellence”
14 Tournaments
The participation in tournaments offers an enjoyable opportunity for players to test their hockey
skills competitively in an environment that encourages fair play and above all, fun. It is through
tournaments that the reputation of the team and the Burnaby Winter Club has become entrenched.
Through playing teams throughout all parts of British Columbia, and the traditional visits to the
Quebec City Atom and Pee Wee tournaments, the reputation of the Club and players has been
enhanced. The Club has in recent years done the West proud in competing evenly with the teams
from Toronto and Detroit from back east.
However, an important part of the tournaments are the reciprocal initiatives. We at the Burnaby
Winter Club have to host top calibre teams to maintain our presence in the hockey community.
This applies to all levels of play including AAA, B, and C levels. Several Associations will provide
preferred status to those teams that have tournaments to which they will be invited.
The responsibility for hosting and running a tournament rests with the team/ division wishing to
host a tournament. There is no question, the effort required is huge, but so are the benefits to the
individual players, the teams and the BWC.
