Every year, choosing the recipients is the hardest and most rewarding part. This group stood out for their curiosity, heart, and how they see the game. Exactly what Jason championed. Mentoring young writers matters; their voices shape the future of hockey storytelling. 💙💚
This year's Botchford Project winners have been selected!
Congratulations to Jordan Frew (@JordanFreww), Annaliese Gumboc (@aaigumboc), and Jeffrey Kennett (@JKennett32747), who will work with media professionals, report on a #Canucks game, and publish an article on https://t.co/jkNjAu8XnJ!
What started as a tribute to Jason has become a launchpad for young hockey writers to be seen, heard, and taken seriously in hockey media.
To the Canucks, mentors, and every writer who shows up with heart—thank you!
Best of luck to the applicants!

Great night raising money for the Easter Seals. Personally impacted hard this year! Our very own Cody Hodgson is a huge supporter! BTW.. He LOVED his time as a Canuck! 💙

today we mark and mourn six years since we lost Botch. Proud of the work that has been done with The Botchford Project to honour the memory and legacy of our friend and colleague
Oh, how this day weighs heavy on my heart. Five years ago today we lost Jason 😢. I can still hear his infectious laugh and him saying “bro, do your dekes”. Gone way too soon but never ever forgotten! ❤️

🌟 One week left to apply for The Botchford Project! I am choosing 3 candidates this season for the January 21st game! The day entails attending the morning skate, interacting with Canucks players in the locker room, mentorship from Sports Journalists and covering the game from the press box later that night!
