· Players must be evaluated on-ice at the Zone Camp to be eligible for selection to   represent their zone at the 2013 U16 BC Cup

 

Based on performances at the zone camps, six (6) teams will be formed to compete at the 2013 Female U16 BC Cup.  Two (2) teams from the Lower Mainland zone camp will be selected and one (1) team from all other zone camps will be selected.  Teams will be made up of the top 20 players who will represent their zone at the BC Cup.

 

BC Hockey’s Female High Performance Program was established to identify and train athletes and team personnel for possible participation at Provincial, National and International events.  The U16 program is particularly important as it is the first stage in the Female High Performance Program where player evaluation and team selection occurs.
