🏒 DON’T LET YOUR SEASON END BEFORE IT STARTS.

The BCHL U18 Saints Select Team is happening.

The team is confirmed.
Our goalies are set.
And we’re looking for a few more skaters to complete the group.

For some players, U18 hockey goes by incredibly fast.

One minute you’re walking into the rink with your gear bag…

and before you know it, you’re wondering where all those seasons went.

So if you still want more hockey…

More competition.

More teammates.

More practices, road trips, dressing-room laughs and chances to pull on a jersey and compete…

there’s still an opportunity waiting for you.

🔥 FINAL U18 SELECT TRYOUT

📅 Monday, October 19
⏰ 9:00 PM
📍 Lions Park

This is the final tryout.

One last opportunity to step onto the ice, show us what you’ve got and potentially become part of the Brantford Saints U18 Select Team this season.

The team is going forward.

Now we need the players who want to go with it.

If you know a U18 player who still wants more hockey this year…

send them this post.

Tell them to bring their gear.

And tell them there’s still time.

🖤💛 ONE LAST SKATE.
ONE MORE OPPORTUNITY.
DON’T MISS IT.

🥅 THERE’S ONLY ONE KID ON THE ICE WHO CAN’T LOOK BEHIND THEM.

The goalie.

The kid who stands in the crease while everyone else is coming toward them.

The kid who can make ten incredible saves… and still think about the one that got through.

The kid who learns very quickly that goaltending is about more than stopping pucks.

It’s about confidence.

Composure.

Courage.

And having the ability to reset and face the next shot.

That’s exactly why BCHL created the Goalie Development Series.

This Sunday, we’re giving our goalies dedicated ice time focused specifically on their position and their development.

🥅 SESSION 1 — THIS SUNDAY

📅 October 18
⏰ 9:30–11:00 AM
📍 Lions Park
💲 $30 per goalie

More quality repetitions.

More time working on the fundamentals.

More opportunities to learn.

And more chances to build the confidence that every goalie carries back into the crease.

Whether your goalie is just discovering the position or already can’t imagine playing anywhere else…

this ice is for them.

Because confidence isn’t built when the puck drops.

It’s built in all the reps that happened before it.

🔥 Registration is open now.

👉 Register at BCHL.NET

Please arrive early enough to be fully dressed and ready for the ice at 9:30 AM.

Know a goalie family who needs to see this?

👇 Tag them. Share it. Send it to them.

For the kids who choose the crease:

ONE MORE REP.
ONE MORE SAVE.
ONE STEP BETTER. 🖤💛

🏒 TO THE HOCKEY PARENTS WHO MAKE IT ALL HAPPEN… THIS NIGHT IS FOR YOU.

You’re the alarm clock before sunrise.

The driver.

The gear hauler.

The snack packer.

The schedule keeper.

The one tying skates, finding missing gloves, washing jerseys and sitting in cold arenas because there’s nowhere else you’d rather be when your kid steps onto the ice.

You cheer the loudest.

You feel the tough losses.

You celebrate the little victories nobody else notices.

And behind so many great hockey memories…

there’s a parent making it all possible.

So BCHL wants to give you a turn.

🖤💛 HOCKEY PARENTS NIGHT OUT

📅 Saturday, November 7
⏰ 4:00–6:00 PM

🏒 One incredible hockey community

Because BCHL isn’t only about the players on the ice.

It’s about the families in the stands.

The volunteers behind the scenes.

The friendships built at the rink.

And the community that makes all of it possible.

So grab your hockey-parent crew and come have some fun with us.

You spend the season showing up for them.

🏒 FORTY YEARS. THOUSANDS OF PLAYERS. COUNTLESS MEMORIES.

Before there were highlight reels, social media posts and packed camera rolls…

There were kids walking into the rink with their gear bags.

Coaches opening dressing-room doors.

Parents cheering from cold stands.

Teammates becoming friends.

And weekends that became memories families would talk about for years.

This November, one of BCHL’s most meaningful traditions reaches an incredible milestone.

THE 40TH ANNUAL TOURNAMENT OF FRIENDS

📅 November 20–22, 2026
📍 Brantford, Ontario

For 40 years, this tournament has been about more than hockey.

It’s been about community.

Friendships.

Competition.

Belonging.

And giving young players the chance to create the kinds of memories that stay with them long after the final buzzer.

This year, another generation gets its turn.

🏒 U11 Select
🏒 U13 Select
🏒 U15 Select
🏒 U16 Select
🏒 U18 Select

Some players will step onto the ice for their very first Tournament of Friends.

Others will return knowing exactly how special this weekend can be.

And somewhere in the stands will be parents, coaches and former players who understand that these are the moments you don’t get back.

The early mornings.
The big saves.
The goals.
The laughs.
The teammates.
The memories.

Forty years later, that’s still what this tournament is all about.

🖤💛 SAVE THE DATE

NOVEMBER 20–22, 2026

Brantford, we’re getting ready to celebrate 40 years of hockey, friendship and community.

One tournament. Four decades. Generations of memories.

🥅 GOALIES — YOUR ICE. YOUR POSITION. YOUR DEVELOPMENT.

Goalies don’t play the same position as everyone else.

So they shouldn’t have to develop the same way either.

This season, BCHL is giving our goalies something they deserve — dedicated ice time focused specifically on helping them get better.

Introducing the BCHL GOALIE DEVELOPMENT SERIES. 🏒🥅

Five dedicated sessions throughout the 2026–27 season built to help BCHL goalies:

⚡ Sharpen their fundamentals
🥅 Get more quality reps
🧠 Build confidence in the crease
💪 Develop their game
🔥 And become more comfortable owning one of the toughest positions in hockey

FIRST SESSION

📅 Sunday, October 18
⏰ 9:30–11:00 AM
📍 Lions Park
💲 $30 per session

FULL SERIES

🥅 October 18
🥅 November 8
🥅 December 6
🥅 January 17
🥅 February 7

Whether your goalie is still learning the position or already loves being between the pipes, these sessions are an opportunity to put in the work and keep getting better.

Because great goalies aren’t just made during games.

They’re developed one save, one rep and one practice at a time.

🔥 Registration for October 18 is open now.
