I'm
a
big
fan
of
our
bchl
team,
the
Coquitlam
Express,
not
just
for
their
on
Ice
skills,
but
for
the
way
they
contribute
back
to
our
community.
Under
the
inspired
leadership
of
general
manager,
Telly
Campbell,
the
express
has
put
together
an
impressive
lineup
of
community
service
from
their
anti-bullying
campaign,
see
something
do
something:
encouraging
people
to
take
positive
action
when
they
encounter
bullying
to
to
hosting
their
first
ever
Pride
night
to
drive
social
change
and
Foster
inclusivity.
A
Tally
said
everyone
has
the
right
to
feel
accepted
and
we
have
a
duty
to
our
players,
our
fans
and
ourselves
to
be
the
voice
of
EX
of
acceptance.
Last
season,
Express

nearly
95

twenty

in
a
game
game
promoted
as
Coquitlam
First
Nation
night.
A
Their
good
work
continued
this
season
with
each
player
choosing
a
charity
of
choice
to
support
by
volunteering
donating
and
promoting
that
charity
in
February,
the
team
partnered
with
juvenile
diabetes
research
foundation
and
diabetes,
Canada
to
host
a
diabetes

game
players
wore
specially
designed
jerseys
that
were
auctioned
off
after
the
game
to
raise
money
for

March.
They
hosted

hockey
talks,
mental
health

where
groups
distributed
information

A
This
was
followed
by
their
autism

a
more
sensory
friendly
game
experience
was
created,
the

was
lowered,
