The Victoria Grizzlies are making a deep playoff run in the BCHL, but how much of their success can be attributed to having a player with a famous last name?

Let's discuss the impact of famous hockey names in junior leagues and whether it creates an uneven playing field. The Grizzlies are facing off against the Chilliwack Chiefs next. Could this be the year they finally break through and challenge for the league title? What are your bold predictions for the series and the BCHL playoffs as a whole?
