CHILLIWACK, B.C. – The 2022 BCHL Showcase begins today at 10 a.m. at the Chilliwack Coliseum.
The Victoria Grizzlies and West Kelowna Warriors will kick off the event, which runs until Thursday night. There will be 18 games in total over four days with every BCHL team playing two regular-season contests.
As is the case every year, there will be over 100 scouts in attendance, representing NHL teams, NCAA Division I programs and more.
“We are thrilled to be hosting another BCHL Showcase,” said BCHL Deputy Commissioner and Chief Operating Officer Steven Cocker. “This event gives many of our players their first chance to display their skills in front of NHL scouts and NCAA coaches.

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 2021-22 alone, there were 196 BCHL players who received scholarships to top schools in the U.S. and Canada, including 173 with NCAA Division I commitments. The BCHL is also a leader in player safety, with a full-time Department of Player Safety, the toughest rules on fighting in North American junior hockey, as well as a league-wide independent Safe Sport Officer and an individual Athlete Advocate assigned to all 18 teams.
The BCHL is: Modern Hockey.
