BVHS has partnered with Morgan Hockey Development to offer a Spring 4 on 4 Hockey League. The 4 on 4 Hockey League provides players with an opportunity to stay on their skates during the Spring months April - June. By playing 4 on 4 Hockey, players are given the opportunity to work on their skating and puck-handling abilities in an atmosphere that allows for individual growth. With fewer players on the ice, players are given more puck touches which ultimately increases their stick-handling and puck-control skills. The end-to-end transitions allow players the opportunity to increase their overall skating abilities.

This league provides players with the opportunity to play with kids of all levels and abilities in an inviting and fun environment. Players can request to play with up to four friends.

The BV 4 on 4 Hockey League allows players the opportunity to play other sports, and by doing such, we are following the Canadian Sport for Life's Long-Term Athlete Development Model. This model focuses on an athlete-first approach. For more information on the LTAD please click here.
