Moving from one tier to the next is a major step for Junior hockey in BC considering that everything is moving at such a fast pace for all leagues.
Last year we saw a unique level of distinct Junior leagues from the BCHL which was then Junior A to the three Junior B leagues in the province.
Given the stand that was undertaken by the BCHL to pull out of Hockey Canada it was only fitting that the Junior B leagues elevated their status to Junior A which they did.
There are major hurdles that they are faced with but each has to date been met with professionalism as they advance.
Last season the PJHL and the KIJHL held their first BCHC Prospects Game in Chilliwack which was well received in addition to having the banquet webcast by SportswaveTV the night prior.
As the leagues continue to grow we are hearing that this years Prospects Game will be held in Kamloops

The PJHL’s Top Prospects Bus will travel to Kamloops from Chilliwack on Monday, November 27th where they will practice and attend an event banquet prior to the game the next day.
