evaluations

Frequently Asked Questions:

Do I have to pay the full evaluation fee even if I cannot attend both evaluation skates? Yes, the evaluation fee is a set fee to be evaluated for a potential roster spot, and is based on two evaluation skates. EVALUATION FEES ARE NON REFUNDABLE

When does the season start and end? March 31 to June 8, 2025

We are only interested in being evaluated for the top team, are there separate evaluations for each team? No, our evaluations are "open", our evaluators will determine which team a player will be the best fit on within our program.  Unless your player is playing in the HPL League, or a top player on an A1 Tier 1 team in the minor hockey system, it is unlikely that he/she will make our Black team roster. 

What will the season cost? Typical fees are approximately $2500 for our Black Teams and $2300 for Silver teams. Final costs are determined at a later date once ice contracts are confirmed and tournaments are selected.

Where are practices held? We have ice contracts at several arenas, including Langley Twin Rinks, Langley Sportsplex, and NHTC Langley. The majority of our ice is at Langley Twin Rinks.

What's included in the Spring fees? All ice times, professional paid coaches, player apparel, three tournaments, and insurance. There are no additional costs unless the team decides to do something extra. For 2025, uniforms will be included in the season fees.

I understand that the evaluation fee is set, however I am only able to attend one evaluation skate, is this OK? Yes, however it is best that players attend both skates so our evaluators can get more than one opportunity to evaluate your player. The more our coaches and evaluators see a player, the better the evaluation will be. Having said that, players that are only able to attend one of the tryout skates will still have the same opportunity to be selected for one of our teams, however the evaluation will be based on only the one skate.

If my player made an BCL Black roster last spring is he/she guaranteed a spot on that roster for this coming spring? No, team placement for each player is yet to be determined and will be based on a current evaluation. We will be offering guaranteed roster spots to some core returning players on our Black teams based on our familiarity of those players.

If my player made BCL Silver roster last spring will he/she have an opportunity to make a Black team roster this spring? Yes, however we will need to have the opportunity to evaluate the player at our evaluations. There are limited spots available on our Black teams as these rosters are made up of mostly HPL players.

What day/time will practices and development be? Unknown at this time.

Are roster spots still available on the Black teams? Yes, however up to 85% of our black teams rosters may be pre-selected prior to evaluations and those players are not required to attend the evaluation skates.
