Here is a peak into some of the many reasons why Terrace without a doubt is Hockeyville:
One valley with many nations. Terrace is the tournament centre for the North-west bringing folks from far and wide.
As he hub of our region, Terrace connects Neighbouring First Nations; The Tsimshian of Kitselas and Kitsumkalum and the Nisga'a of Terrace and Nass Valley.
Our backyard is an outdoor mecca of landscapes, wildlife and adventure and are the backdrop to a highly enthusiastic hockey environment.
We believe in environmental sustainability and as a community are working towards many green initiatives.
The Terrace Sportsplex was just completed providing a second sheet of ice, function rooms and child care. Clean and green technology have been used in the design. This dream became a reality after 15 years of planning, fundraising, designing and building.
Diversity is a corner stone of our community. As the hub of northern B.C., we represent a variety of people from First Nations to the four corners of the globe.
We love hockey! Our community is rallying behind this campaign because we truly believe Terrace is Hockeyville. Take a walk down any street to see our community spirit come alive through our national sport.
If you came to Terrace and weren't a hockey fan, you most likely are now.
In Hockeyville, hockey is much more than a sport; it's simply a way of life.

Terrace and the surrounding Skeena Valley are located in a hybrid coastal-interior rainforest on the Skeena River, approximately 115 kilometres (71 mi) from its mouth at the Pacific Ocean. The lush forests in the area consist primarily of cedar, hemlock and balsam. Sediment deposits from glaciers over thousands of years ago have produced the natural terraces or "benches" around much of the city, which sits approximately 70 metres (230 ft) above sea level and just east of the Skeena and Kitsumkalum River confluence. The Hazelton Mountains are to the west of the city, while the Kitimat Ranges of the Coast Mountains are to the east. The area sits above an active fault line that runs north-south. The area also boasts several natural and developed hotsprings.
Terrace is a service community on the Skeena River in British Columbia, Canada. The Kitselas people, a tribe of the Tsimshian Nation, have lived in the Terrace area for thousands of years. The community population fell between 2001 and 2006 from 12,109 with a regional population of 19,980 (Statistics Canada, 2001) to 11,320 and regional of 18,581 (Statistics Canada, 2006). The community vies with Prince Rupert as a regional hub for the northern coastal area. It is the seat of the Kitimat-Stikine Regional District. |
