As a billet family to our local Junior Knights hockey team for the past six years, we have had the privilege of hosting out-of-town players and sharing in their journeys. These experiences have enriched our family life and created bonds that extend beyond the ice rink. Today, however, these cherished moments are under threat as plans to relocate our beloved team to another community are being considered.

Armstrong, BC is more than just a location for this team; it's their home. The community has shown unwavering support over the years, cheering on from the stands and celebrating victories together. This move would not only affect us personally but also disrupt a tradition that has been part of Armstrong's identity for over a decade.

The decision to relocate seems to overlook what truly matters - people and community spirit. We believe there is ample local support that justifies keeping the team here in Armstrong.

We urge those making this decision to reconsider. Let's remember why we love hockey - it brings people together, fosters camaraderie and creates lasting memories. Let us keep these values alive by keeping our Junior Knights hockey team where they belong - here in Armstrong.

Please sign this petition if you believe in preserving local traditions and supporting youth sports within our community.
