Fifteen years after winning the Coy Cup with Powell River Regals, Trevor Burnett has his sights set on hoisting the trophy with his teammates again in 2025.
Regals will host Rossland Warriors in a best of three Coy Cup qualification series at Hap Parker Arena this weekend. 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.
Burnett spent his development years in the Powell River Minor Hockey system and later played junior hockey for Kerry Park in the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League, along with beginning his career with the Regals. He credits former coach Rick Hopper for having the most influence on his evolution as a player.
His favourite player to watch growing up was hockey hall of famer Paul Kariya. When he is not playing a hockey game or practicing, Burnett works on a tugboat and manages a slow-pitch softball team.
Earlier this month, Powell River won the West Coast Senior Hockey League McCallum Cup championship.
