In putting together this portfolio magazine, my goal was to celebrate the incredible privilege I had of witnessing one of the most remarkable Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) championship teams ever assembled. As I look back, I can only marvel at the extraordinary 22/23 season with the Oceanside Generals—a season that will go down in history not just for the championship itself but for the heart, unity, and relentless drive that defined every moment of that journey.

From the coaches, players, and staff, to the selfless volunteers who worked tirelessly behind the scenes, every single individual in the Generals’ organization played an integral role in that spectacular championship run. To have been a part of this experience as one of their sports photographer was a dream come true—a culmination of dedication and passion that began for me back in 2018.

This was my first time capturing a championship victory, and I can’t quite put into words how overwhelming and special that moment was. The Generals had tasted defeat the year prior, falling to the Peninsula Panthers in a hard-fought six-game series on the road. But they came back stronger, more focused, and hungry for redemption. Fast forward a year later, and there we were, standing victorious on the road once again—only this time, it was the Generals who had clinched the championship in six thrilling games against the Saanich Predators.

That triumph wasn’t just a testament to skill—it was the embodiment of perseverance, teamwork, and the unwavering belief that this group could rise above any challenge thrown their way. It was an honor to be welcomed into the Oceanside Generals family, and I am endlessly grateful to everyone who made me feel like part of the team during such an unforgettable chapter of hockey history.

The excitement, the energy, and the pure emotion of that championship will stay with me forever. To capture it through my lens was more than just a job—it was an experience that will fuel my love for the game for years to come. Thank you, Oceanside Generals, for giving me the opportunity to be a part of something truly extraordinary.

Referee Graedy Hamilton will be joining the National Hockey League for the 2023-24 season.

The British Columbia native spent last season officiating in the American Hockey League and the Western Hockey League, as well as working the IIHF’s 2023 World Junior Championship and the CHL’s Top Prospects Game. Hamilton was recognized as BC Hockey’s Official of the Year for last season.

The 23-year-old referee has spent two season in the AHL and four in the WHL. He also worked six seasons in the British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL).

Hamilton fills the void created by the departure of long-time referee Marc Joannette, who retired in April after 24 years in the NHL. Joannette’s full-time slot will be filled by one of the league’s NHL/AHL referees currently splitting time between the two leagues. That official’s promotion opens a spot for Hamilton.

Hamilton will continue to work primarily in the American Hockey League this season; he’s expected to make his NHL debut in the spring of 2024.

Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s taking the summer off. Hamilton is supporting young officials taking part in BC Hockey’s Officiating Program of Excellence camp.

All the best to Graedy Hamilton on the start of his NHL career!

#21 Nolan Wyatt this guy is an absolute beauty will never forget coming back this season and seeing him after only a couple months off between seasons and the massive growth he had gone through was crazy!

Im proud to have meet this young man and gotten to know him along the way he is a great asset to any club! #21

#8 Brendan Carlson of the Oceanside Generals this guy has got moves that some will never have and has quick hands fast feet and some of the smartest hockey sense around! His inside 360 Spin is insanely epic that you see players like Connor McDavid pull off! This is definitely one of my favourite players in all of junior A&B levels! Keep up the great work Brendan! .carlson

#16 Carter Johnson leagues overall points leader and MVP for a second straight season this season accumulating 43 goals 60 assists for 103 points in just 42 games! This guy is pure talent and is very humble ! It’s been great being able to watch Carter play during his time with the generals as he makes it look so effortless at times putting point after point on the score sheets. Thank you Carter for so many great memories!
