Two Alberni Valley Bulldogs players have been added to the B.C. Hockey League's All-Star roster.
After a vote was conducted with coaches and general managers from the 21 BCHL teams, the league announced the initial rosters for the 2025 All-Star Tournament and Skills Competition, which will take place Jan. 18 at Rogers Rink in Salmon Arm.
Goaltender Colin Winn and forward Brady McIsaac will be representing the Alberni Valley on the Coastal Conference roster.
In 22 games with the Bulldogs, McIsaac has 10 goals and 12 assists for 22 points. Winn, meanwhile, has a 0.915 save percentage in 16 games played with the Bulldogs.
Each team has one skater represented on the initial roster, plus an additional two goaltenders were selected from each conference. The rosters will eventually be split into four teams of six skaters and one goaltender and will compete in a 3-on-3 tournament.
The remaining three roster spots will be decided by a fan vote, and Port Alberni's own Caden Tremblay is up for a chance to win a spot on the roster. Tremblay is currently the co-leader in the BCHL for game-winning goals amongst defencemen — tied with Trail's Lucas Lemieux.
The fan vote will not be separated by conference — instead, the three players with the most votes will receive the final spots.
Bulldogs fans can visit www.bchl.ca/fanvote to vote for Tremblay to attend the All-Star tournament. Voting ends on Wednesday, Dec. 4 at 4 p.m. and results will be announced the following day.
