Merritt Centennials: Our Game - Hockey History
OUR GAME - A HISTORY OF HOCKEY IN THE NICOLA VALLEY

Long before the Centennials moved to Merritt in January of 1974, hockey has been a part of the Nicola Valley.

From the first games played on frozen lakes and ponds to the opening of the original Nicola Valley Memorial Arena, this section of the Centennials website is proud to focus on "Our Game - A History of Hockey in the Nicola Valley".

Click on each link below for a description of significant hockey events in the Nicola Valley from three issues of the Nicola Valley Historical Quarterly, as published in 2005 by the Nicola Valley Museum and Archives.
