Brandon Manning knows the empty feeling of not playing hockey this time of year. A year ago he was in that situation when the Chiliwack Bruins missed the playoffs.

It was fun while it lasted for the Quesnel Millionaires and their fans. Their B.C. Hockey League season ended Tuesday night in Quesnel with a 5-0 loss to the Vernon Vipers in Game 6 of their Interior Conference semifinal playoff series.

Inside B.C., they have already been chosen as the best at what they do. Wednesday night in Calgary, Mike Raimbault and Inderbir Gill may just get some national recognition too.

The UNBC Northern Timberwolves are supposed to win a national title. That's what the rankings say.

A lottery is being held in Calgary today and the Prince George Cougars are guaranteed to win one of the top prizes.

Prince George has three new provincial champions in short track speed skating. Tim Hempsall, Kadeja White and Ross Knudson all won gold medals in their categories at the Work Safe B.C.

In case you haven't heard, the Quesnel Millionaires are making some noise in the B.C. Hockey League playoffs.

The final record doesn't always tell the story. Even though the Bursey Buryn Cougars managed just one win in five games at the B.C. Hockey Female Midget AAA Championship, they showed tremendous character in difficult circumstances.

A game-saving stop by Marcus Beesley and superior play on special teams. Those two factors vaulted the Cariboo Cougars into the final round of playoffs, where they'll try to knock down their historical rival, the Vancouver Northwest Giants.

For Joey Laviolette, the thrill of the chase was much better than the catch.
