The Heart of Minor Hockey in the Lower Mainland

Minor hockey is an incredibly popular sport in Canada, especially in the Lower Mainland. This region, spanning from Hope to the Sunshine Coast, is home to a vibrant hockey community with numerous Minor Hockey Associations and leagues. Players, both male and female, start as young as 5 years old and continue through to the age of 20. The sport thrives thanks to the dedication of coaches, managers, referees, and countless volunteers who are passionate about fostering the love of hockey in young athletes. This dedication underscores the importance of hockey in Canadian culture, making it a beloved pastime and a vital part of community life.

The Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association (PCAHA) plays a crucial role in this ecosystem. As the governing body for minor hockey in the Lower Mainland, the PCAHA ensures that the sport is well-organized and accessible. They provide structure, support, and guidance to all the Minor Hockey Associations and leagues under their jurisdiction. The PCAHA’s efforts ensure that young players receive quality coaching, fair play, and a safe environment to enjoy the game. Their commitment to excellence helps maintain the high standards of hockey in the region, contributing to the sport’s continued popularity and success.
