General Manager / Head Coach: Darren Naylor
I have joined the Columbia Valley Rockies as the General Manager/Head coach. It is a privilege to coach the Rockies organization a team rich with tradition. I am now entering my 8th season as a junior hockey coach either as and assistant or Head Coach. This past season I was the Gm/Coach with the Hope Icebreakers of the PIJHL. My playing career included 3 seasons with the Victoria Cougars in the WHL and several seasons of minor pro hockey before retiring from the Anchorage Aces. With several returning players from last year’s team to build on, plus the players I have recruited this off season, we definitely will have a product that will be exciting to watch. I believe in development and progression last season I was able to move 4 players to the WHL and another 4 to the BCHL. I believe in making each player strive to be the best he can possibly be. Together, through hard work and discipline we will try to bring the Columbia Valley the KIJHL championship. I am looking forward to being a part of the community and the successful future of the 2007-2008 Columbia Valley Rockies.

Host Families

The Rockies urgently require host families to provide lodging and meals to out-of-town players aged 16 to 20 during the upcoming 2007-2008 junior hockey season.

Host families are asked to:

  • Provide a private bedroom for the billeting athlete or other accommodations that afford reasonable privacy.

  • Provide a prepared evening meal and make available appropriate foods so that players may prepare their own breakfasts, lunches and snacks.

  • Blend the billeting player into family life as much possible and provide adult guidance.

Families who open their homes to these players receive $450 monthly compensation and a seasons ticket to our home games. Our team screens both players and prospective host families to match personality and backgrounds and to ensure a positive and rewarding billet experience for both parties.

For more information on becoming a host family
