Vernon Hosts Learn in Summerside

Hockey Canada requires RBC Cup host committees to attend the previous year's event but the Vernon committee had every intention of learning whatever they could.
"It was really worth the long trip to the East Coast,"says Chairperson Mike Lane. "The Summerside hosts and the local Royal Bank managers went out of their way to show us everything and to share their ideas."
Betty and Don Klepp went early to observe the preevent preparations and to meet with various committee leaders. At the same time, they lobbied for support for the 2014 Vernon event and Betty distributed Vernon tourism literature.
They were invited to observe the coaches and managers meeting the night before the games began. "That was really good," says Don "because it set the tone for the competition itself. I've been to the last five RBC Cups, but I learned things in that meeting that I didn't have any idea about."
"One of the things Summerside did really well," he continues, was their signage. We will emulate some of Summerside's signage because it adds a degree of class that an event of this calibre deserves."
