OUR VISION

Posted in GENERAL

As the grass roots essence of the great game of hockey, the sport of ball hockey, often called street hockey can easily be played by anyone in the world, regardless of socio-economic background. It is our belief that it can not only achieve national prominance, but international respect as well. Our goal is to strive for official status in the Canada Games and in future, the Olympic Games. With dedication and leadership, we will succeed in setting an example for the rest of the world, unifiying our efforts into realizing our vision.

Team Canada

Posted in GENERAL

The World Senior Championships occur every two years on odd numbered years, while World Junior Championships are held on even numbered years. 

Players for Junior Team Canada are scouted mainly at the annual National Junior Championships, with some advance scouting being done at large provincial events with eight or more junior teams participating. In order to be considered for Junior Team Canada, players are encouraged to qualify for their provincial team(s) competing at the Nationals, because a player's ability is more effectively measured against the best competition available. 

The men's program is somewhat similar with players being scouted at National Championships. Provincial events may also be scouted with notable players encouraged to qualify for their provincial team(s) competing at the Nationals. Whenever possible, an evaluation camp will be held with as many as 44 selected players attending. The final roster typically will have between 22 and 25 players. 

If you would like a chance to play for Team Canada, you must: 

  • play in a NBHAC member league 
  • be selected to compete at your provincial championships or national qualifying tournament 
  • ideally, be selected to compete for your province at the National Championships
