The league says the move will provide more options for players under the age of 18 who are looking to compete at the college level in the U-S.

The move will also allow B-C-H-L teams to recruit 16-and 17-year-olds from other provinces, something that is against Hockey Canada regulations.

The B-C-H-L, a Junior A league, has 17 teams in B-C and one in Washington.
