The 2016–17 BCHL season was the 55th season of the British Columbia Hockey League. (BCHL) The seventeen teams from the Interior, Island and Mainland divisions played 58-game schedules. The 2016 BCHL Showcase, hosted in Chilliwack, BC, was held shortly after the start of the season from September 21 to 25, 2016.
In March, the top teams from each division plays for the Fred Page Cup, the BCHL Championship. From there, the league champion will move on to compete in the Western Canadian Junior A championship, the Western Canada Cup, in Penticton, British Columbia. If successful against the winners of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, Manitoba Junior Hockey League and the 2017 Western Canada Cup hosts, the Penticton Vees, the champion and runner-up would then move on to play for the Canadian Junior Hockey League championship, the Royal Bank Cup, in Coburg, Ontario. Since the Vees won the Fred Page Cup, their opponents in the finals, the Chilliwack Chiefs, will represent the BCHL in the Western Canada Cup.
