The British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) has come out to say it’s looking at supplementing the number of teams it has, and Alberta is one of the markets it’s seriously considering.
The BCHL, which recently held its Annual General Meeting at Rogers Place in Vancouver, re-affirmed a growth plan established back in October that it outlined as “strategic growth in markets that push forward the league’s mandate in delivering a first-class athlete and community experience.”
On Wednesday, Director of Communications, Jesse Adamson, confirmed the 20-team Tier 1 league was exploring all its options, including bringing in more Alberta teams into the fold, as well as strategic growth within British Columbia and cross-border expansion. According to league officials, this growth will focus on communities, facilities and ownership groups that meet the standards set by the BCHL.
“Part of that (the growth plan) was identifying markets. We are in a growth phase for our league, and Alberta expansion is a key priority in that,” Adamson reiterated.
