The Cowchan Valley is getting a new sports team.

The Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League has announced that Ray Tremblay has been named as the very first head coach and GM of a new team for Lake Cowichan.

The VIJHL Facebook page says “Ray had a 12 year playing career that entailed stops in the KIJHL, BCHL, NCAA DIV 3, France and FHL. He then went on to coach in the FHL for two seasons.”

The Lake Cowichan Kraken becomes the 10th team in the VIJHL.
