Campbell River Storm Dedication To Success
On And Off The Ice
The Campbell River Storm prides itself on offering players a first class junior hockey experience while developing the skills and mentality to move on to a higher level of hockey. In many ways, the Storm operates like a BCHL organization in the wide range of resources and amenities that are provided to our players. In return, our staff places high expectations for character, commitment and accountability, with all members of the Storm striving to win an 11th VIJHL championship.
The playing experience in Campbell River is unlike any other at the junior level. Storm fans are loyal and passionate, and the atmosphere on game nights at ‘The Brindy’ is electric with anywhere between 750 and 1250 fans coming through the gates each Friday night.
The Storm practice daily from Monday to Friday with additional skills ice from Tuesday to Thursday, meaning that our players benefit from more hours of on-ice instruction and skill development than our opponents. We also have a partnership with Elevate Sports Performance that gives our players daily access to a state-of-the-art hockey training facility. On the road, the Storm provide safe and professional bus transportation and pre- and post-game meals. Under Coach Stone, 94 Storm players have played a total of 247 games as affiliates for BCHL teams. Last season with the BCHL’s Coquitlam Express, Stone and associate head coach Vin Jackson worked with 11 NCAA Division 1 committed players.
Players who earn the privilege of wearing our sweater are expected to be upstanding citizens in the community and participate in numerous community and school programs.
