FANTASTIC!, F U Hockey Canada and BCHockey, this validates what the BCHL has said and done, will make the league stronger. GO BCHL GO!!!
Yes, should be fun. I would also like to see more games scheduled against the East & Coastal teams. I realize travel costs are an issue but at least have one game vs every other team, one home & one away. With the current format there are some teams we never see come to Vernon. It should be exciting going forward if this comes to pass.
If this rumor comes true can you imagine the great hockey we could see with 4 of these teams being the best in the AJHL.
