Island League - U13

 

U13 Island League hockey is open to players ages 11 and 12.  U13 is the first level of competitive hockey recognized by Hockey Canada.  It is here players develop their skills in preparation for U15 hockey.  The players in this League will play the Island League U13 teams from any of the Associations in VIAHA.


As of the 2013-2014 Season, Hockey Canada has ruled that the U13 division is a non bodychecking division.

 
The Goals for the U13 age player are:

 

  • Fun
  • Refining individual tactics
  • Intro into team play

 

The U13 Island League teams begin their season with a Placement Round to determine which Division they will compete in. These Divisions are determined by the strength of the team and not by the category of the Association.  Once the League has been formed, the teams usually play between 10 and 15 League games where the players continue in their development.

 

At the end of League Play, the teams are placed into a Play-off series based on their Association’s category to determine who will become the Vancouver Island District Champion and represent Vancouver Island at one of the four BC Hockey U13 Championships that are held in different areas of the province each season.  The four categories are Tier 1, Tier 2, Tier 3 and Tier 4.
