The North Shore Winter Club is a celebrated family athletic club serving the Greater Vancouver Area. Home to a rich history of hockey, members at the North Shore Winter Club have enjoyed the benefits of a friendly social environment since 1958. Ideally located at the bottom of Mountain Highway just on the north side of Vancouver's Second Narrows Bridge, the North Shore Winter Club has become a prominent symbol of British Columbia's proud tradition of inclusive athletics and overall family fitness. As host to this year’s Pee Wee Tier 2 BC Hockey Championship, we are proud to welcome teams from across the Province to our home arena. Our goal is to make this championship a memorable experience for all our guests – players, team officials, parents, and officials. Vancouver’s North Shore is the place to stay to discover Vancouver from a whole different perspective. Staying mountainside, you are minutes away from some of Vancouver’s premier attractions. Outdoor adventures abound with top‐notch mountain biking trails, rainforest hikes, and more. North Vancouver is just minutes away from Vancouver and it’s easy to get to with a quick trip across the Lions Gate or Second Narrows Bridges. For families that want to hit the slopes, it’s also right next to Grouse Mountain, Cypress Mountain, and Seymour Mountain. World‐class resort, Whistler Blackcomb, is a 90 minute drive. Shopping, dining, coffee and pubs can be found throughout the North Shore, great local places can be found in the Lynn Valley Village or Lower Lonsdale, 4 including the famous Lonsdale Quay Market. One of the best parts of North Vancouver is the stunning wilderness right at our back door. Forests, trails, playing fields, golf courses, and mountain peaks provide our community with an enviable array of choices when it comes to recreation. Check out Lynn Valley Suspension Bridge, Lynn Loop, Rice Lake, Deep Cove, or one of the many other local outdoor attractions.
