The Burnaby Winter Club (BWC) features an NHL-size ice surface available for use year round, as well as a seasonal 160′ x 60′ training surface and a seasonal curling/activity arena.
Hockey has become the predominant sport at the Club. Current membership participation is reflected in the interest for premiere hockey development. The Figure Skating Club is a good complement to the hockey program for family members, and is a separate body from the Minor Hockey Association (MHA). Minor hockey and figure skating have their own representation on the Board of Directors. The Club added an Academy in 2013, partnering with Burnaby Central Secondary School, and has seen it become one of the strongest in Canada.
The Club takes pride in the fact that NHL players played minor hockey out of the BWC, players like Jack McIlhargey, Cliff Ronning, Paul Kariya, Chris Joseph, and Glenn Anderson. There are a number of other players that have played at the professional ranks, both in North America, in European leagues, and in Russia, that compile a very impressive Alumni group. More recently these include NHLers Greg Zanon, Michael Santorelli, Karl Alzner and Ryan Nugent Hopkins.
