“Our community has been devastated by the recent flooding and has faced a lot of adversity recently,” said COO Rob Mullowney. “The people of the Fraser Valley are a resilient group, a community that supports each other. Our players and staff feel fortunate to work, live and play here. We want to do our part to help and to give our fans a place to come together.”
