The British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association, more commonly known as BC Hockey,is a non-profit organization and member branch of Hockey Canada in charge of governing amateur hockey at all levels in British Columbia and Yukon Territory. It comprises approximately 150 minor hockey associations, 55,000 players, 4,500 referees, and 20,000 official volunteers.
Founded in 1919 as the British Columbia Amateur Hockey Association, BC Hockey has seen many changes and substantial growth over the years. The organization continues to strive to provide training and resources for volunteers so that they may better serve the amateur hockey community.
The organization is overseen by an Executive Committee composed of 21 elected members and one appointed member (the Executive Director who does not get to vote on issues).
