Off the ice would like to thank the Chilliwack Secondary School choir who performed an amazing anthem on Friday and the CSS R&B band who entertained the fans during the 1st intermission. Also, kudos to the world-renowned Sardis Drumline who rocked the rink with their show during the 1st intermission on Saturday.

Three Jr. Chiefs teams participated in the Net Drive Spring kick off tourney this past weekend in Chilliwack. The 2016 born, the 2015s and 2014s all made us proud with 2 of the 3 teams making the finals, one of them winning it all. But most importantly the kids had fun during their games and had a blast attending our play-off games.
One more congratulations, to Chiefs Alumni Jordan Kawaguchi whose Belfast Giants won the Elite League Championship in Northern Ireland. “Guch” is tied with Doug Ast as the Chilliwack Chiefs all time points leader
