BCHL teams have arranged an array of ticket deals, alumni appearances and giveaways for fans as well as the league recognizes its half-century of hockey
“Our team marketers and sales people have really embraced this challenge and come up with some great ideas to promote their teams and the history of their franchises and the league,” said BCHL communications director Brent Mutis. “I’m impressed with the initiative shown by our teams and hope fans get on board with the festivities too.”
Anyone looking to get involved can simply visit www.bchl.ca for the weekend schedule or call their favourite team’s front office for offers their team has in the works.
