COACH’S MESSAGE On behalf of our ownership group and myself as head coach and general manager, I would like to welcome you to another exciting year of Grizzlies hockey! This past season brought its successes and challenges with the youngest group of players at the junior level, in all of B.C. This year will see half of last years team return to the Forum with a hunger for success. Our program is one that will be accountable to the community; having players of strong character as role models in the community and upholding a high standard within the community. These young men will leave Revelstoke better people in large part because of your support and involvement with our program. It is our goal to move players on to Junior A, WHL, NCAA, ACAC and BCIHL opportunities. We are committed to icing a competitive team that will not be outworked. I would like to thank our host billet families; which are known for providing
some of the best homes in the KIJHL. Thank you to our sponsors who keep junior hockey alive in Revelstoke, I would encourage you to support our local sponsors. I would also like to thank our numerous volunteers who make junior hockey in Revelstoke possible. Finally a big thank you to our die hard local fans and those of you from Australia and numerous other countries who call Revelstoke home during the winter months, you enhance our program through your enthusiasm for our national sport. Your Revelstoke Grizzlies are a positive part of the community and we thank you for your support for this group of outstanding young men! Sincerely, Ryan Parent Revelstoke Grizzlies Head Coach and General Manager
