  • At Birds Nest Properties, we’ve always believed a home is more than the space inside it. It’s the neighbourhood around it and the people who make that neighbourhood feel like community.


    Few places build community like a youth hockey team. Early-morning ice times, long drives to tournaments, and teammates who pick each other up after a tough loss teach kids teamwork, leadership and resilience that last well beyond the season.

    That’s why we’re giving one local youth hockey team a $1,000 Birds Nest sponsorship to help cover team fees, ice time, tournaments or equipment.

    Who can enter

    Coaches, team managers and parents or guardians who live in B.C. and are 19 or older can enter for a youth hockey team registered with a B.C. minor hockey association in the PCAHA (Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association). House league and rep teams are both welcome.

    How to enter

    1. Show us your team. Make a short video, share a few photos, or get creative. Show how your team demonstrates teamwork and leadership on and off the ice.
    2. Tell us your story. What makes your team special, and how do you make a positive impact in your community?
    3. Send it to us privately by email to community@birdsnestproperties.ca. Please don’t post entries on social media. Entries are seen only by our team.

    Key dates

    • Entries open: November 15, 2026
    • Entries close: December 1, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. PT
    • Winner announced: December 3, 2026

    What we’re looking for

    Our head office team will vote on every entry, looking at three things: teamwork and leadership, the team’s impact on its community, and the creativity of the entry. The winning team will be contacted directly by email or phone, then celebrated on our Instagram, @rentbirdsnest.

    No purchase is necessary. Please read the full contest rules before entering.

    We can’t wait to meet the teams making a difference, on the ice and in our community. Good luck!
