Junior Hockey Trades!!

January 10th is the one day that some Junior hockey players dread when it approaches, but when it’s over some wonder why they were moved, while others are happy not to be moved.

It’s a time of the season that some welcome while others have reservations on what their future holds as they advance their career.

Locally the lower mainland has two main leagues one being the Junior A BCHL having 18 teams in the Interior and Coastal conferences which involves travel throughout the province.

The other league operates solely out of the lower mainland is called the PJHL consisting of 13 teams playing a 48 game schedule with travel from North Vancouver to Chilliwack.
