The BCHL announced on Friday that they intend to withdraw from the CJHL.
The league released a short statement that read:
“After reviewing our options, the BCHL has chosen to no longer belong to the Canadian Junior Hockey League. The BCHL is not withdrawing from Hockey Canada or BC Hockey.
“We wish the current CJHL partners well and look forward to completing our current season and returning for our 60th anniversary in the fall.”
The CJHL, in response, released a statement that read:
“The remaining nine leagues within the CJHL, will continue with their commitment to player development, through their partnership with Hockey Canada, and its members, as well as the National Hockey League, which includes the presentation of the Centennial Cup national championship, the World Junior A Challenge, and the CJHL Prospects game.”
