Richmond will be the PIJHL's contender at the Provincials Junior "B" championships. They will face three other teams, from the VIJHL the Peninsula Panthers, the host team the Fernie Ghostriders and we are still waiting for the KIJHL champions who will be either the Castlegar Rebels or the Osoyoos Coyotes.
