The Canucks, led by Coach Marcelle Capelle, battled their way to a championship in front of a sold-out home crowd at Memorial Arena.
They defeated the Quesnel Kangaroos 4-1 in the 2026 Coy Cup final on Saturday.
“These guys deserve to be British Columbia champions. I’m so proud of them,” Capelle said.
The Quesnel Kangaroos struck first early in the game, putting the Canucks on their heels. However, goaltender Josh Round said that goal allowed him to settle into the game.
“Sometimes you play better when you give up a stinker early, and that’s what that was,” Round said. The Canucks goaltender was strong the rest of the way, stopping 30 of 31 shots.
The championship caps off an incredible season for the Dawson Creek Canucks. The team finished at the top of the NPHL standings with an impressive 15-1 record.
