Minor Hockey - BC Hockey
For parents looking to place their children in organized hockey it is important to know the levels of hockey that youths can play at. In a hockey friendly country like Canada, children typically start playing organized hockey at age five. However this is not the case in other countries around the world. In Canada, Minor Hockey is described as amateur hockey played by athletes who are 20 years old and younger.
Participants will receive 5 x 45 minute hockey skill sessions. Act now to get ready for the upcoming season! Limited space!
Minor hockey is an umbrella term for amateur ice hockey which is played below the junior age level. Players are classified by age, with each age group playing in its own league. The rules, especially as it relates to body contact, vary from class to class. In North America , the rules are governed by the national bodies, Hockey Canada and USA Hockey , while local hockey associations administer players and leagues for their region.
