As the Chilliwack Bruins wrapped up their second regular season in the WHL, Bruins fans have been not only a part of watching a new team succeed, but have been a part of many exciting prize giveaways throughout the season.

In total, the Bruins fans have had a chance to win over $90000 in prizes.  These prizes have ranged from cars and SUV’s to jewellery to great trips and even some shopping sprees.  ‘The Bruins have been extremely fortunate to have the fantastic sponsorship partners that we do in the Fraser Valley,’ comments Director of Marketing Barry Douglas.  ‘The ability of these sponsors to offer these great prizes makes being a Bruin fan not only rewarding from a hockey standpoint, but also from a prize standpoint.  You just never know what we will giveaway next.’

The Bruins would like to extend a special thanks to all of our sponsors who have helped us make this year’s promotions and giveaways an overwhelming success, including:

Mertin GM

Chilliwack Ford

Performance Honda

Mountainview Harley Davidson

Roblin Travel

Also a special ‘THANK YOU’ to our fans for their great support throughout this season.
