To mark 70 years of Powell River Regals hockey in the community, players and coaches from five local teams posed for a photo wearing commemorative Regals’ jerseys earlier this month.
Members of Powell River Minor Hockey’s U18 female team and U18A, U15A and U13A clubs lined up behind the Regals’ centre ice logo at Hap Parker Arena for the photo op.
“Those teams adopted it as a third jersey, the same as ours, although it’s says Powell River Hockey in the middle instead of Powell River Regals,” said Regals’ coach Tod English. “We were honoured to have them do this. Kim Barrows was instrumental in arranging this and making it happen.”
Regal players occupied the back row, behind the youngsters.
“We got more than 80 players and coaches involved in the photo,” said Barrows. “It was chaotic but turned out great.”
The Regals' season came to an end earlier this month when the visiting Rossland Warriors won a best-of-three Coy Cup qualification series at Hap Parker Arena.
