About the BCHL:
Sending more players on to Division I college hockey every season than any other hockey league in Canada, the BCHL has established itself as a national leader in the development of young student athletes. Considering approximately a third of today’s NHL is made up of NCAA alumni, the BCHL has become a breeding ground for some the sport’s most elite and successful players. In 2023-24 alone, there were a BCHL-record 292 players in the league with NCAA Division I scholarships. The BCHL is also a leader in player safety, with a full-time Department of Player Safety, as well as a league-wide independent Safe Sport Officer and an individual Athlete Advocate assigned to all 21 teams.
The BCHL is: Modern Hockey.
