CFNR is a sponsor of the Terrace U18 2023 B.C. Hockey Championships.

While attempting to defend their title, the Terrace Minor Hockey Association's U18 tier 3 team will play host to the 2023 B.C. Hockey Championships this month.

After all three of the city’s minor hockey teams won their respective zones tournaments, they’re now getting ready to compete for gold in the B.C. championships. 

While there was a break in 2020 and 2021 due to COVID-19 restrictions, the U18 teams at the time won both the 2019 and 2022 B.C. championships. 

Chair for the U18 tier 3 B.C. Hockey Championships Frances Tooms says that having the chance to defend the title at home is exciting for the players. 

The Terrace Kermodes will be playing a total of nine teams for a shot at either bronze, silver, or gold medals. 

The first match-up happens on Sunday, March 19 between Castlegar and South Okanagan. For the duration of the tournament, games will start at 7 a.m. and run until 10 p.m. 

Semi-finals start at 5 p.m. on March 22 with the gold medal game commencing at 11 a.m. on March 23.
