Players in the new BCHL won\u0027t be eligible for selection to national teams or to attend Hockey Canada high\u002Dperformance activities
That also means that the BCHL can’t bring in players from Junior B leagues to fill in for a game here or there due to injuries and have the players return to their original squads afterward like they have in the past.
BCHL commissioner Steven Cocker believes that the non-sanctioned rules were devised specifically for start-up leagues and not one like the BCHL, which has a history that dates back to 1961. The BCHL pulled out of the Canadian Junior Hockey League, which was built to band together the country’s 10 Junior A loops for Hockey Canada and run events like the Centennial Cup national championship. In April 2021 BCHL CEO Chris Hebb said that his league has pitched changes to CJHL a year earlier and got no response. The BCHL made public last September a 35-page white paper it had written entitled Modernizing Junior Hockey in Canada and sent beforehand to Hockey Canada and BC Hockey.
Landing referees and linesmen could prove difficult for the BCHL if Hockey Canada continues to hold firm about not having any crossover with non-sanctioned leagues.Leaving Hockey Canada also means that the BCHL is no longer covered on the insurance plan. The BCHL has been working on its own insurance deal and Cocker says that “It’s equal, if not better in some areas.
