BC Hockey wrapped up their 2023 Women’s U18 September Prep Camp on September 24. Following the completion of this camp, Team BC reduced their roster down to 20 players (18 Skaters, 2 Goalies). The process to make this 20 name list was not easy as nearly 300 high performance U18 female athletes across the province competed to make this team starting back in April.
Team BC, now with a final roster, will look to build off their success at the 2023 Canada Winter Games when they compete at the 2023 National Women’s Under-18 Championship in November. The tournament takes place at the Ovintiv Events Centre in Dawson Creek, B.C. from November 5 – 11.
Of the announced 20 players, we are proud to say that 10 are West Coast Hockey Prep Camp alumni. Take a look at this impressive list of camp alumni that will be representing their home province this Winter.
