The Penalty Free Challenge is a BC Hockey program that encourages positive social values, including fair play, integrity, respect and fairness. These are all essential elements of our game that the program strives for.

The Vancouver Canucks are partners with BC Hockey in this initiative, and both the Canucks and BC Hockey believe that the principles of fair play are far greater than the game itself.

If a team completes a game during Minor Hockey Week, January 15 - 22, 2017, without taking a single penalty they can submit their game sheet and entry form to BC Hockey to receive a special gift.

Please visit the BC Hockey website to enter.

During Minor Hockey Week, BC Hockey will be accepting nominations for the Fred Heslop Minor Hockey Week Awards, recognizing exceptional service to the game within BC and the Yukon. In total, five (5) awards will be presented during National Volunteer Week, April 23 - 29, 2017.

BC Hockey is looking for volunteers who have:

• Made a significant contribution to hockey in their community
• Enhanced hockey programs within their Association
• Gone beyond expectations
• Made remarkable achievements
