On behalf of the BCHL Victoria Grizzlies Junior Hockey Club we want to invite you to a tryout for one of our elite spring hockey teams which play in the BCHL Prospects Spring League.  

We are currently putting together three competitive teams to compete in the BCHL Spring League this upcoming April to July 2022. These teams will be coached and operated by Victoria Grizzlies (of the BCHL) staff, with the league being made up of other similarly associated teams from across the BCHL. 

• U18 - primarily 05's and 06's, however 04's will be accepted too. 
• U16 - 2007's
• U15 - 2008-2009's

Each team will play 4 showcase tournaments, played over 4 weekends in different BCHL cities, with a min of 12 regular season full length games and a final showcase (playoff) weekend.  

This league’s intention is to create an environment where players of high caliber can develop and experience the type of league the BCHL can offer to athletes with the dream of eventually playing NCAA and/or Pro Hockey.  Our league attracts the most NCAA scouts across the CJHL, and draws the most scholarships.  This BCHL Prospects Spring League is designed to be a stepping stone for players to one-day play in the BCHL. 

This league will provide an opportunity to showcase your abilities, talents and work ethic to our organization; as well, for our Grizzlies coaching staff to see at ice level the players in competition.  Understanding “what it takes” to play at this level, mentally, physically, the ability to understand the game as it speeds up, and the opportunity for our coaches to install BCHL expectations of hard work and good habits, ultimately…….….what we want from our future players.  

The cost of the program includes:

• 4 Tournament weekends 
• Grizzlies jersey and socks
• Track suit
• Warm up gear
• League Website with full stats, standings, and player profiles

NOTE:  Currently there is no intention to run practices, however if teams do decide to practice, that cost will come directly from that team.  We can provide recommendations for elite development programs if requested.

Team tryouts will take place from March 22nd to 24th at the Q Centre and JDF arena(s) located in Colwood.  These tryouts will be operated by Grizzlies staff and will include:

• Team practice
• 4 games
• Fitness Testing
• Parent NCAA info meeting

Tryout numbers will be limited do to the overwhelming response to this program, and our focus on recruitment.  Following tryouts, all players will receive feedback from the staff.

Tryout cost $250 plus GST

The cost of the program will be $2000 for each player.
