Upcoming Events U15
*Hockey Canada has cancelled all hockey related events and activities, as of March 13, 2020 due to ongoing and evolving concerns surrounding the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The health and safety of our members, communities and families is our top priority. As a result, the Program of Excellence / Team BC Camps are currently on hold and will take place once Hockey Canada provides the okay to resume hockey programs.
We are currently working with facilities across the province to determine dates of availability to operate these camps once hockey resumes. Please note that all players born in the appropriate Program of Excellence birth year for U15 and Team BC birth year for U16, will still have the opportunity to try out.
We will remain in contact with the status and provide the new dates for camps as they become available. We appreciate your patience throughout this process, and encourage you to reach out to zone@bchockey.net if you have any questions or concerns on this matter.
