A stretch of beach has been named after an NHL player who called Sicamous home.

In 2022, the family of the late Rob Flockhart contacted the District of Sicamous to see about having a street or district amenity named in Flockhart害羞草研究所檚 memory.

The Flockhart family relocated to Sicamous from Smithers in 1969, reads a district news release. Flockhart played for Canada in the 1975 World Junior Championships and played five seasons in the NHL, beginning on the Vancouver Canucks.

His brother, Ron Flockhart, also played in the NHL and the two hosted up-and-coming players at their Flocky Hockey Hockey School in Sicamous.
