What do these guys have in common, other than the fact that they're fine National Hockey League players, past and present? They all played in the British Columbia Hockey League, a top-notch junior circuit that features outstanding entertainment for fans, and that regularly sends stars along to college hockey scholarships.
Count BC Hydro as a huge fan of the BCHL, and a sponsorship partner with the league. This coming season, watch for BC Hydro Community Outreach reps at 21 BCHL games, where they'll be promoting electricity conservation and Team Power Smart.
"The British Columbia Hockey League is proud to be partnering with an excellent community and corporate partner, and looks forward to contributing to BC Hydro's energy conservation efforts throughout the province in 2009 and beyond," says BCHL Executive Director, Dave Sales.

BC Hydro's Community Investment & Outreach Manager, Larina Lopez sees this new partnership as a great way to engage directly with customers.
