When talk turns to hockey in Conception Bay North, Brian Hurley’s name is sure to enter the picture. As president of Bay Arena Minor Hockey Association from 1997-2001, Hurley took a practically bankrupt group and left with a healthy bank balance when he moved on. Not only did Hurley play a pivot role on their executive, but he also coached successful championship teams over the years with Bay Arena. When finished with minor hockey, Hurley turned his attention to the St. John’s Junior Hockey League, coaching the CBN Stars to two championships in four seasons. He was more than a coach, he was the president and manager of the Stars, a title he still holds today, two decades onward. As if that was not enough, Hurley has been the face and voice during minor hockey TV Bingo for 29 Years, helping Bay Arena and Cee Bees Minor raise more than $500,000 for the groups, keeping them alive and well on the provincial scene.
