The Alberni Valley Bulldogs and the BCHL are proud to announce the launch of Score With Reading.
Starting January 11th, BCHL teams will be appearing at their local library branch to team up with students and families to share the joy of reading, talk about their experiences as student-athletes.
Score With Reading was created by Jason Kuffler who is the divisional manager in charge of community engagement at Vancouver Island Regional Library.
“With my background in public libraries and my passion for getting kids excited about reading, partnering with the BCHL was a perfect fit because of the league’s slogan of ‘Smart Hockey’ and its emphasis on developing student-athletes,” said Kuffler, “I believe there is a huge amount of value for young readers to see reading is a part of these players’ lives and how literacy skills have helped them get opportunities in post-secondary education.”
The BCHL has averaged 122 college commitments per year over the last five seasons.
Select Alberni Valley Bulldogs players will be at the Library on Wallace Street on Monday, January 11th from 4-5pm.
