2004 MEMORIAL CUP

The Canadian Forces was well represented at a variety of events during the Memorial Cup and played a significant role in the ceremonies through the addition of colour, tradition and music while providing a linkage to the enduring theme of the Cup event as a homage to our military heritage. The Okanagan Military Museum also contributed to illustrating this linkage between this major sports event and our military history.

The BCD Colour Party participated at the opening ceremonies of each game of the Memorial Cup providing a colour escort for the national anthem and offical puck drop ceremonies. In addition, the BCD Colour Party escorted the Memorial Cup on the ice for the presentation to the 2004 Cup winners the Kelowna Rockets to the thunderous applause of the audience.

The Naden Band plays the national anthem at the opening game of the 2004 Memorial Cup. The band was a much complimented addition to the initial Memorial Cup ceremonies such as the parade and the opening game. They were impressive repesentatives of Canada's Navy through their musical skill and naval pomp and ceremony.

A frame from a segment of the "Drafted!! -Hockey in the Canadian Forces" display video. The video included segments from army games overseas in the 1940s and more contemporary hockey themed videos of Canadian Forces members serving Canada overseas. This video segment was filmed in 2001 at sea aboard the Canadian Patrol Frigates HMCS WINNIPEG and CHARLOTTETOWN while on patrol in the Arabian Gulf. The short video took a humourous look at the importance of hockey to the morale of the ships companies and was aired on "Coach's Corner" during the final game of the Stanley Cup that year. The video was produced and shot by the Canadian Forces J5 Public Affairs Combat Camera Team.

Visitors to the museum display enjoy the Canadian Forces hockey themed video presentation that was part of the museum display. The video presentation was a compilation of footage from various eras dated back to the 1940s. It highlighted the continuing linkage of hockey to the Canadian Forces including post-war games in Europe between Canadian Army and local teams, the ongoing RMC/West Point challenge and Canadian soldiers playing road hockey with local children in Eritrea and amongst themselves in Bosnia in a humourous video short (both show on "Coach's Corner).
