The Senior Male AA Championships was held this past week in Terrace, BC from March 3-7, 2009.  The four (4) participating teams in the Senior Male AA Championship were defending champions the Kitimat Ice Demons, Powell River Regals, Williams Lake Stampeders and the host team the Terrace River Kings. 

The Coy Cup which is awarded to the Senior Male AA championship team was donated to BC Hockey by Colonel Coy of the 50^th Gordon Highlanders (now the 16^th Scottish) of Victoria, BC.  The Coy Cup emblematic of the Senior Male AA Champions was first awarded in the 1922-23 season to the Enderby Hockey Club.

After four (4) competitive days of Senior Male AA action, Powell River took on Williams Lake in the Championship game.  After three (3) periods of back and forth action, overtime was needed to break a 4-4 tie.  Gilbert Robbins scored the winning goal at the 13:30 mark of overtime for the William Lake Stampeders giving his squad their first ever Senior Male AA Championship

"Kudos goes to Steve Smyth, Brian Downie and the rest of the Hockeyville organizing committee for a job well done," said BC Hockey Divisional Director – Senior Male, Bob James.
