For Immediate Release

December 4, 2025

 

Saanichton, B.C. – BC Hockey, in partnership with Hockey Canada, is excited to announce that the online 50/50 will return for British Columbians during the 2026 IIHF World Junior Championship, hosted in Minneapolis and Saint Paul, Minnesota, from December 26, 2025, to January 5, 2026.

 

Individuals who are aged 19 and older and are physically located in the Province of British Columbia at the time of purchase will be eligible for the 50/50 draw. Fans will be able to purchase 50/50 tickets from their mobile device, tablet or computer during the purchasing window.

 

"We’re excited to bring back the online 50/50 for hockey fans across British Columbia during the World Juniors," BC Hockey CEO Cameron Hope said. "It’s a fun way for supporters to get involved, help grow the game, and have a chance to win while celebrating the holiday season".

 

All funds raised from the 50/50 draws will remain in British Columbia, and will be invested directly back into local hockey initiatives to address growth and retention, lowering barriers for women and girls' hockey, and safety.
