Powell River Regals will host Rossland Warriors in a best of three Coy Cup qualification series this weekend at Hap Parker Arena. Game times are 7 pm on Friday, March 7, and Saturday, March 8, and 1:30 pm on Sunday, March 9 (if necessary), with the winner advancing to final four Coy Cup BC championship in Prince Rupert during the last week of March.
Regals’ goaltender Laszlo Tamasik is no stranger to winning championships. The puck stopper who graduated from the Powell River Minor Hockey system won a Coy Cup with the Regals in 2010, then led his Alliston Hornets to the Georgian Mid-Ontario Junior C Hockey League championship the following year. In game seven of the final series, Tamasik posted a 1-0 shutout over Stayner Siskins.
Tamasik also spent part of a season with North Bay Trappers of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League and appeared in one game for his hometown Powell River Kings of the BC Hockey League. He gives credit to former goalie coach Kim Dillabaugh and former Regals’ coach Rick Hopper for influencing his development.
Tamasik led the Regals to within a goal of the Coy Cup championship in 2024, when Powell River hosted the tournament and fell in overtime of the championship game to Terrace River Kings. Away from the rink he works as a recreation aquatics and fitness instructor in Esquimalt.
Earlier this month, Powell River won the West Coast Senior Hockey League McCallum Cup championship.
