KAMLOOPS — For the second time in the last year the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League has turned down expansion to Quesnel.

According to Matt Kolle, a spokesman for the Parallel Sports Group, which is behind the expansion bid, the vote was 16-3 against.

Kolle says in an email to cfjctoday.com “The feeling I got in the meetings was that the KIJHL governors do believe KIJHL hockey will eventuall operate in Quesnel and Williams Lake.”

Kolle says he believes the first step was taken  when 100 Mile House was granted a franchise.
