In honour of the BCHL's 50th season, the league has launched online fan voting to select the top players in league history. The list of 50 players will be revealed at BCHL Celebration Weekend, Nov. 25/26, at each team's arena.
Fans can vote for the players they believe are the top 3 Stars from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, 1990s and 2000s. There are 133 players listed in total and the rankings are weighted.
"Fans will be surprised at just how many names they'll recognize from throughout our history," said BCHL communications director Brent Mutis. "There are lots of players who had fantastic Junior A careers and others who went on to long NHL careers. A glance to our website of the Trophy Case section will reveal many of the names in the survey."
Players such as Brett Hull, Eric Shishido (the only player to repeat as scoring champ), Duncan Keith, Andy Moog, high-scoring defenceman Campbell Blair, Kyle Turris or last season's Interior Conference MVP Joey Laleggia are all up for voting. The poll is divided into five sections, one for each decade of the league’s existence.
To cast votes, visit the 'BCHL History' page under the 'League' tab above. Voters can choose three players per decade and categorize them as 1st Star, 2nd Star or 3rd Star.
