Dear Pioneer Family,

It is with great disappointment that the Pioneer Hockey Club has ceased operations for the 2007 – 2008 season. The World Hockey Association (WHA) has failed to fulfill the agreed upon transportation agreement made when the Pioneers joined the league. Confirmed correspondence to the Pioneers has failed to materialize and in the best interest of our players the management of the Pioneers had no choice but to end the season.

The Pioneers would like to thank all the players, player’s families, billet families, volunteers, referees, reporters, sponsors and fans for their passionate support over the past three seasons. Without all of you this would have never been possible.

Over the next few days our focus is on placing our player’s on various teams around the Country and supporting them as much as we can. Their passion for the game will help them fight through this difficult time and enable them to continue chasing their hockey dreams.

Once again, thank you for your support of Pioneer Hockey.

Brian Cheek

GM, Fort Vancouver Pioneers
