Why BCHL...
Why Choose BCHL for your Family ...
We believe that Hockey is the greatest game on earth and that all kids and their families should have the opportunity to experience the game and a day at the rink as it was meant to be ... FUN !!! BCHL was originally founded in 1997 as the Barrie Christian Pond Hockey League by Len and Beth Robinson, who had a vision to incorporate the Guiding Principles from the Bible that reveal the Purpose of our Lives through sharing with Family and Friends creating Community and Fellowship. BCHL welcomes kids of all abilities to come together in a no-body checking environment to play the game of hockey. We have been blessed to grow and thrive as a league, offering a popular and distinctive option for families to build lasting memories.
What sets us apart:
BCHL Power Plays:
