  • Game Notes – April 15, 2021 Game #9 Vancouver Giants Vs Victoria Royals
    GAME NOTES – APRIL 15, 2021 GAME #9 VANCOUVER GIANTS VS VICTORIA ROYALS THE STORY SO FAR – Heading into tonight’s game the Vancouver Giants are 5-3 and are ranked second in the B.C. Division standings. After an opening night loss to Kamloops on March 26th the Giants responded with five consecutive victories (one each against Kamloops, Kelowna, Prince George and two against Victoria). On Saturday April 10th that streak came to an end after a 6-3 loss to Prince George. Two nights later the Giants suffered a 4-1 loss to the same Cougars, and are now looking to halt a two-game losing streak when they take the ice tonight against Victoria. THE MATCHUP – Tonight marks the third of six meetings on the season between the Vancouver Giants and the Victoria Royals. So far this season the Vancouver Giants are 2-0 against Victoria having outscored them 11-8. Justin Sourdif leads all Giants with two goals and four assists for six points through two meetings with the Royals while Royals captain Tarun Fizer leads the Royals with a goal and three assists against Vancouver. The Giants and Royals have met each other in the playoffs in each of the previous two post-seasons, and would have met in 2020 were it not for the season being shut down because of COVID-19. MINER’S HISTORIC RUN – Giants goaltender Trent Miner became the Vancouver Giants all-time shutout minutes record holder last Wednesday thanks to spotless nine-save relief appearance against Victoria. Unfortunately that record came to an end on Saturday, April 10th against Prince George.

  • Le Canada & Les Jeux Olympiques D‟Hiver „En Bref‟
    Le Canada & les Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver „En bref‟ Introduction Le 12 février 2010, Vancouver sera la ville hôte des XXIes Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, elle accueillera les athlètes du monde et ceux du Canada. Cette célébration marquera un nouveau chapitre dans la longue et riche histoire de la participation canadienne aux Jeux d’hiver. Le Comité Olympique Canadien a envoyé des athlètes à toutes les éditions des Jeux Olympiques d’hiver et James Merrick, membre du Comité International Olympique (CIO) au Canada, fut un supporter passionné de l’idée de créer des Jeux d’hiver séparés. Lorsque la « Semaine de sports d’hiver », qui devait plus tard être reconnue rétroactivement par le CIO comme les premiers Jeux Olympiques d’hiver, eut lieu à Chamonix (France), du 25 janvier au 5 février 1924, un petit groupe de Canadiens étaient présents pour écrire les débuts de cette histoire. Les sports et les disciplines que pratiquent les Canadiens Aux Iers Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver, les hommes canadiens participèrent à trois des neuf sports et disciplines au programme : patinage de vitesse, hockey sur glace et patinage artistique. L’équipe canadienne de patinage de vitesse se composait d’un athlète : Charles Gorman. La délégation féminine était également limitée puisqu’elle ne comptait que Cecil Eustace. Eustace concourut en patinage artistique, dans l’épreuve individuelle et avec Melville Rogers dans l’épreuve par couple. Le programme olympique et la délégation canadienne se sont grandement développés au cours des vingt éditions des Jeux d’hiver célébrés jusqu’à présent. Aux XXes Jeux Olympiques d‟hiver à Turin en 2006, les athlètes canadiens ont pris part à l’ensemble des 15 sports et disciplines pour les hommes et aux 13 pour les femmes figurant au programme.

  • CSHOF 2020 Class Announcement
    LEGENDS, TRAIL BLAZERS GAIN ENTRANCE INTO COQUITLAM SPORTS HALL OF FAME Coquitlam’s Sports Hall of Fame will enshrine a trio of trendsetters as the class of 2020. Joining the community’s celebration of sport are basketball’s Rich Chambers, soccer’s Geri Donnelly and hockey’s Darcy Rota. The three – Donnelly as an athlete, Chambers and Rota in the builders’ category – will be inducted alongside the class of 2019 at a virtual ceremony to be held on June 16, 2021. Donnelly was a member of Canada’s first women’s national soccer team, recording the first two goals in international play in a 2-1 win over the U.S. in just their second game together. She would go on to play 72 games for Canada over 13 years, including serving as captain at the 1999 World Cup. Chambers elevated and shaped the game of basketball as a coach over nearly 50 years behind local, provincial and national team benches. On the international stage, the Coquitlam resident spearheaded the Canadian women’s program to six World championships, including thrilling FIBA under-19 women’s victories over Australia and the United States. Rota, a member of the Vancouver Canucks alumni, was the driving force in bringing junior hockey to Coquitlam in 2001. He and the Coquitlam Express original ownership group skillfully stickhandled past skeptics and roadblocks to put a B.C. Hockey League team into the Poirier Sports Centre. As the club’s first general manager and president, Rota helped many players achieve college scholarships and a handful reach the ultimate dream of playing in the NHL.
