Identified as two of the top young officials in the province, Chilliwack’s Connor McCracken and Agassiz’s Brennan Walker are now part of B.C. Hockey’s Program of Excellence.

Chilliwack’s Connor McCracken and Agassiz’s Brennan Walker are among B.C.’s best young hockey referees, and have been invited into B.C. Hockey’s Officiating Program of Excellence.

McCracken, Walker and six of their peers will travel to Shawnigan Lake July 12-16 for an elite high-performance camp.

They will receive instruction from National Hockey League officiating manager Ken Wheler and B.C. Hockey director of officiating Sean Raphael.

They’ll put what they learn into practice on the ice, officiating games between 40 of the best U-16 hockey players who will be attending their own camp in Shawnigan Lake that week. That group includes Chilliwack native and Chilliwack Chiefs recruit Ethan Bowen.
