Bucks looking for volunteers

The Cranbrook Bucks put a call out for volunteers and billets on Wednesday. The Bucks are preparing for their inaugural season in the BCHL as the league’s 18th franchise.

Much like every other junior hockey franchise, the Bucks are reliant on volunteers and billets as their lifeblood. Here’s hoping that some of the fans of the former Kootenay Ice return to the rink in Cranbrook to help out the Bucks.

Ice back in at Royal LePage Place
