HOCKEY "FAN SITE" OF THE VERNON FRANCHISE AND THE BCHL
Hi, and welcome to "my hobby site" VERNONJRAHOCKEY.CA, with focus on the Vernon Junior 'A'mateur Hockey Franchise & the British Columbia Hockey League.
I created this site as accurately as possible by using the...
- Laker & Viper programs (which I bought at the games I attended),
- Vernon Teams year-end name plaques (supplied by former player Marty Stein, since given to former Viper GM Troy Mick),
- 2006-07 BCHL Yearbook (given out at Arenas of BCHL Teams, published by HockeyNow Communications Ltd.),
- Hockey Canada National Junior A Championship Guide and Record Book (online at HockeyCanada.ca),
- BC Hockey Handbook (available at BCHockey.ca),
- the late Marty Knack's - Centennial Cup History Document (President 1998-2005 of the CJAHL by his permission via email),
- Gregg Drinnans articles on the Memorial Cup History 1919-2004, (www.chl.ca/CHLMemorialCup05/history.html via the Internet Wayback Machine),
- player & fan submissions (such as former Viking, Scott Cozens & fan, Chris Heisenberg),
- information from the Hockey Hall Of Fame for Centennial & Abbott Cups (via emails and images from Archivist - Izak Westgate),
- scouring the internet and various other means,
- and of course stats published online at the BCHL's various incarnations of its websites, (www2.mybc.com/sports/bchl, www.bchl.bc.ca & www.bchl.ca)
...to provide all the various sources of information at one location, I have yet to search the archives at my local museum.
The accuracy & completeness, of the
information, on this site is ongoing, if you can
help in this regard, please, do so (with proof),
I'd love to hear from you;
Just email me: vernonjrahockey "at" shaw "dot"
