4 ABOUT SFU HOCKEY OUR STORY Clan Hockey was reistablished in 2003 with the creation of the Hockey Club by a number of SFU students eager to bring hockey back to the hill following a nearly 30 year hiatus since the original varsity team competed in the 1970 s. In 2006, the Men s club joined Trinity Western University, UVIC, UNBC, and UCFV in the formation of the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL). The BCIHL has continued to grow by adding new members such as Eastern Washington University, Thompson Rivers University, Okanagan College, and Selkirk College. From SFU Men s Hockey enjoyed a number of significant milestones. The team would for the first time offer scholarships to attract the top players from Junior hockey, as well as travel to Alberta for the first time to play top-level ACAC teams in exhibition. Most notably however, the establishment of the University Hockey Classic, an annual event pitting the SFU Men s squad against crosstown rival UBC Thunderbirds. The event inaugural event was a huge success with over 1,600 passionate fans on hand to witness the new SFU team beat UBC in a two-game series. With the quick growth of the organization, SFU Hockey would again raise the level of competition in For the first time, SFU would compete against an NCAA Division 1 program in Air Force. While SFU would fall to Air Force by a score of 8-3, it opened the door to NCAA Division 1 competition in Burnaby and would put SFU on the map among the best college teams in North America. In December of 2012, SFU Hockey established the Great Northwest Showcase, anevent hosted in Burnaby to showcase top-level college hockey while promoting education as an important part of an athlete s career. The 2014 event was attenended by future NHL stars from top ranked NCAA Division I University of North Dakota, and NCAA Division I Princeton University. UND would defeat SFU 4-3 and go on to make the Frozen Four that season. COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT With the growth of the team on the ice, SFU Hockey would also continue to develop as an organization off the ice, entering into an official partnership with Burnaby Minor Hockey. Every week, SFU players are on the ice with Burnaby Minor Hockey teams, helping to mentor and develop the skills of our younger generation. In addition, similar programs have taken shape within the Burnaby School District, as SFU players travel to local elementary schools for mentorship, assisted learning, and gym programs in the community each week. SFU Hockey also donates over 1,400 printed tickets to local schools every week.
