They scored 24 goals and allowed just eight en route to the championship. The Flyers became the ninth host team to win the Allan Cup since the tournament went to a round-robin format in 1992.

BCHHOF Chair Jim Hughson cited the “rich and deep” hockey community of the province in naming the inductees.

“We have another wonderfully deserving class,” said Hughson. “This is truly a provincial group and some fantastic stories of great contributions to the game.”
