Flyers photographer shares tribute to Hall of Fame team

FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. —  The 2010 edition of the Fort St. John Flyers have been officially inducted into the BC Hockey Hall of Fame.

Maurice Trudeau, the team’s photographer during that magical year, posted a tribute to the squad on Facebook on July 24th.

The team was inducted on July 19th.

Trudeau called the moment “a huge highlight” in his photography career, and some of his photos were displayed in Penticton.

“Thank you to my good friend [club president] Paul Van Nostrand and the entire organization for these incredible memories,” he said in the post.

In an interview with energeticcity.ca, Van Nostrand acknowledged the induction back in March, saying it “felt great.”

“It has rekindled so many memories,” Van Nostrand said.

In the first year Fort St. John hosted the senior men’s hockey championship, the team went undefeated in the tournament, conceding just eight goals en route to the championship.

They became the ninth team to win the tournament as hosts since it began a round-robin format in 1992.

The class of 2024 also included former NHL players Carey Price and Shea Weber.
