Have you been vaccinated yet? Are you a Tri-City resident? If so, along with helping save countless lives, you’re also entitled to a free Coquitlam Express game!
Not any time incredibly soon, as it’s near the end of the season, and the BCHL team is not yet allowing spectators to attend games in person.
However, if you email in a photo of your vaccination card to Tali Campbell, Express general manager and vice-president, you’ll get a free ticket voucher. More information on that can be found here.
We are offering everyone a free ticket vouchers to an upcoming game for everyone who gets vaccinated.
The timeline of when fans will be allowed back into the arena is still unknown but the voucher will be valid when those restrictions are lifted.

For those of us who have yet to be vaccinated, fret not! This promotion is running indefinitely. In fact, you will even be able to physically bring in photo proof of your vaccination to the Express office when it reopens this August. All vouchers given will be valid when restrictions are lifted.
It will not be mandated for all audience members to be vaccinated when the Coquitlam Express is once again playing for spectators. This initiative is simply another way to motivate those who are eligible and able to get their shots, so that we can all do fun things like go to BCHL games as soon as we can.
The Coquitlam Express is currently 14th in the BCHL. They sit at 5-10-0, though they pulled off an 8:2 victory against the Powell River Kings on Monday. They face the Kings again May 9th at the Scotia Barn.

The Express has counted several NHL greats on its roster since its 2001 inception. It has fostered such talent as recent Flames acquisition Milan Lucic, Kyle Turris of the Edmonton Oilers, and New York Islander Mathew Barzal, just to name a few.
Considering the Krispy Kreme promotion offering one free donut per day with proof of vaccination doesn’t apply in Canada, I’d say that a free Express game for Tri-City folks is an even better alternative.
