Speaker: Doug Piper, The Portland Winterhawks

Where We’ve Been And Where We Go From Here.  Doug Piper, President, Portland Winterhawks.. The Portland Winterhawks are a major junior ice hockey team based in Portland playing in the Western Hockey League, which is one of three leagues that make up the Canadian Hockey League. They split their home games between the Moda Center and the Memorial Coliseum. They are one of the most successful teams in terms of NHL alumni, in terms of wins and losses, and in terms of attendance at games.  The Winterhawks have won the President’s Cup three times and the Memorial Cup twice in five appearances (1982, 1983, 1986, 1998, 2013). The team has been in Portland since 1976–77, when it moved from Edmonton, Alberta. Mr. Piper will discuss the team’s past successes and how management intends to ensure that they continue in the future.
