The B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame, in sponsorship with the B.C. Hockey Now newspaper is recognizing the British Columbia Minor Hockey Player of the Year.
Organizations and individuals associated with minor hockey in B.C. are invited to contact B.C. Hockey Now to nominate worthy candidates.
The award winner will be selected from the list of nominees by a selection committee which includes former B.C. Amateur Hockey Association president Florence Rempel and B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame Society director Dorothy Flebbe.
The winner will be presented with his or her award at the B.C. Hockey Hall of Fame's annual Sportsman's dinner.
"The committee is made up of people who will make sure a worthy candidate is selected. We are glad that B.C. Hockey Now is involved, but it's important for people to know that the winner will be selected by a proper committee and not as a result of a newspaper promotion." said BCHHF executive director Scott Carter.
