3 3 Welcome to West Vancouver - The Best of the West Coast! The West Vancouver Minor Hockey Association was born as a community based hockey program in 1967 as a direct result of a centennial project in celebration of Canada s 100th birthday which saw the construction of West Van s community ice arena. Hosting this year s Midget Tier 3 BC Hockey Championship is part of our 50 year anniversary celebrations and we are proud to welcome teams from across the Province and the Yukon to our home arena. Our goal is to make this championship a memorable experience for all our guests players, team officials, parents, and officials. West Vancouver is nestled on the lush south-facing slopes of the Coast Mountains on the North Shore of Burrard Inlet and is bordered by Howe Sound to the west, the Capilano River to the east, and the mountains to the north. Several neighbourhood business areas throughout the community serve the needs of area residents and our guests for this year s BC Hockey Championship. West Vancouver is just minutes away from Vancouver and it s easy to get to with a quick trip across the Lions Gate Bridge. It s also right next to Grouse Mountain and the Capilano Suspension Bridge, as well as close to Cypress Mountain resort, site of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games. World-class resort, Whistler Blackcomb, is a 90 minute drive. Shopping, dining, coffee and pubs can be found in the Villages of Ambleside, Dundarave and Horseshoe Bay. Ambleside to Dundarave are connected by the

4 Seawalk, one of the most beautiful urban seaside strolls you will find anywhere (also accessible directly from West Vancouver Arena by walking south on 22 nd Street). At the east side of West Vancouver is Park Royal Shopping Centre, one of metro Vancouver s biggest and best shopping locales. Two of West Vancouver s most beautiful waterfront parks are Ambleside and Lighthouse Park, and families with younger children will enjoy John Lawson Park.

I will acknowledge all good plays and performances - those of my team and my opponents. I will remember that coaches and officials are there to help me. I will accept their decisions and show them respect. I will observe the rules of BC Hockey such as the Zero Tolerance to alcohol and banned substances. I know that if I break this Fair Play Code, I will be subject to governing bodies disciplinary procedures.
