Hi Islander - Brynn,
I was in the hockey business as a player and later coach and did a lot of recruiting in coastal BC. taking ferries to VI and up the coast!!! BC kids were honest hard working and great players. I remember watching Paul Kariya play for the Penticton Panthers and them meeting with his parents in West Vancouver. Nanaimo had a team (BCJHL) too. Wow the Island was / is one of my favorite places on earth too, as well as Jamaica. Negril is very cool!! The Jamaican Tourist Board used to have a slogan "Jamaica, more than a beach, a country" which is very true.
If you make it to Treasure Beach please stop at Sunset Resort and Villa's for at least a Red Stripe and say Hi to Kory South (Owner) for me!!!
Have a great and safe trip!!!
Regards,
