The junior A league’s board of governors have approved a shortened 2021 season.
This comes after the Provincial Health Office (PHO) accepted the league’s proposal for a safe return to play under its COVID-19 Safety Plan.
The league will operate in a “pod” model where three to four teams will play each other in five different locations across BC.
A condensed season will begin the first week of April.
A full schedule will be released in the coming weeks along with details on the pod locations.
“After months and months of hard work behind the scenes by the league’s Return-to-Play Task Force, we are pleased to make the announcement today that the BCHL will be back on the ice to play the 2020-21 season,” said BCHL commissioner Chris Hebb.
