Young hockey players who aim to play in the BC Hockey League will have the opportunity to gain exposure to the junior ‘A’ league this summer, at a just-announced camp set for Richmond.
The BCHL’s first-ever exposure camp – for players born from 1999 to 2002 – will be held at the Richmond Olympic Oval, July 1-3, the league announced last week.
“We think this camp can provide a huge benefit to young players and their families and it will be extremely useful for our teams,” said BCHL commissioner John Grisdale. “Our league’s reputation for developing talented players… is well-established and we just want this camp to add to that.”
Participating players will get the chance to impress BCHL coaches and scouts – as well as scouts from college and pro ranks – over the course of three practice sessions and three games.
Three educational seminars for players and parents, as well as meetings with coaches, are also planned, the release notes.

Elsewher in the BCHL, the second-round of playoffs will come to an end this week.
The Wenatchee Wild have already advanced to the third round after defeating the Chilliwack Chiefs 4-0 in a best-of-seven series, while the Vernon Vipers have also punched their ticket to Round 3 after a 4-1 series win over Trail.
The last two series – Penticton Vees versus the Merritt Centennials, and the Victoria Grizzlies against the Powell Rive Kings – were decided in Game 7s on Monday night.
