The BC Hockey League has been chosen to host a Save Pond Hockey event as part of the league’s 60th Anniversary outdoor weekend in Penticton, British Columbia January 14 to 16, 2022.
As part of the event, Canadian Olympian Hayley Wickenheiser and a group of other special guests will participate in the weekend’s festivities and share the message of action against climate change.
“We are thrilled to welcome Hayley Wickenheiser and her hockey colleagues to our 60th Anniversary event in Penticton,” said BCHL Deputy Commissioner Steven Cocker. “Pond hockey is an example of our game in its purest form and, with our event taking place outdoors, it seemed like the perfect fit to partner with them and help spread such an important message around climate change. We feel honoured to be one of two Canadian communities selected for such an event.”
