Support Ivan’s U9 Hockey Team

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has already supplied gift cards, cash donations, and raffle items. Your generosity is truly appreciated, and we are very excited for this special weekend for the kids. Your support is helping make it possible.

Ivan’s U9 hockey team with Cowichan Valley Minor Hockey is excited to host our U9 Jamboree on March 14 and 15, 2026 at Fuller Lake Arena and the Cowichan Community Centre.

We are continuing to reach out to our local community for support to help make the weekend extra special. We are currently seeking raffle prize donations such as gift cards, products, services, or experiences, and we are also welcoming business sponsorships.

Funds raised go directly toward player swag bags, snacks between games, and small tournament extras that make the event memorable for these young athletes. At this age, it is all about building confidence, friendships, and a love of the game. Community support truly makes a difference.

If anyone has anything else they would like to contribute, the deadline for collecting items is March 2nd. Please reach out if you are able to support or have any questions.

Thank you again for your support, 
Claire, 250 701 3186
