Female U18 High Performance

High Performance - Female High Performance - Under 18

The inclusion of the female Under 18 program into competitions like the BC Games has established the program from its erratic start to a well designed event. Following the training stage established in the Under 16 program, the first identification stage for female players is the Under 18 program.

The plan is for these athletes to experience camps and competitions. In even years these athletes attend the BC Winter games and in odd years, the BC Hockey U18 Provincial Competition.

Team BC
Once every four years the U18 program is the identification and training program for Team BC. This team will eventually compete in the Canada Winter Games. In the other three years of the cycle, Team BC competes either at a National or Western Canadian competition.

Team BC Athlete Selection
As an example of the process, up to 144 players attend either the BC Competition or the BC Games. As a result of their performance, athletes are invited to participate in the Under 18 Provincial Camp and in further steps leading to Team BC.

Team BC Evaluation Staff
An evaluative staff led by our Provincial High Performance Coordinator and Team BC staff views the BC Winter Games or BC Hockey competition, then select players to attend future camps. From those camps, Team BC is selected.
