KAMLOOPS – The Thompson Rivers University WolfPack and Logan Lake Miners hockey program are pleased to announce an affiliation that will see the Logan Lake-based program join the WolfPack as a self-funded competitive club program.

"We are pleased to welcome hockey to TRU as a competitive club program," said WolfPack director of athletics and recreation, Curtis Atkinson. "This affiliation reflects our commitment to delivering opportunities for student-athletes and promoting the link between competitive sport and post-secondary education."

Featuring both a men's and women's team for the first time this upcoming 2026-27 season, the WolfPack hockey club teams will provide students enrolled at TRU with the opportunity to compete at the post-secondary level.

"With the growth and increasing profile of women's hockey, we are thrilled with the addition of a women's program," said Atkinson. "The Logan Lake Miners have been a strong and competitive member of the BCIHL, with outstanding support in Logan Lake, and we look forward to their continued success."

Competing in the British Columbia Intercollegiate Hockey League (BCIHL) since 2022, the Miners, who play their home games at the Logan Lake Recreation Centre, will now move forward as the TRU WolfPack in that same league.

"This affiliation combines the strength of the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack brand with the incredible support and hockey culture that exists in Logan Lake," said head coach Grant Friesen. "The team will continue to call Logan Lake home, while gaining new opportunities for recruitment, student-athlete development, and long-term program sustainability. We are excited about the future and what this means for our players, our university, and the community."

As a competitive club program, WolfPack hockey relies on donations and corporate sponsorship to fund operations. To donate, please visit: www.tru.ca/wolfpackhockey
