The Team BC Player Selection Camp will be held March 27-29, 2026 in Kamloops, BC at the McArthur Island Sports Centre. Players will be evaluated over the three-day camp to determine the top 20 men and top 20 women hockey players to represent BC at the 2026 National Aboriginal Hockey Championships (NAHC) to be hosted in Regina, Saskatchewan.

The selection camp rotates annually between the six I·SPARC regions throughout the province. The dates aim to accommodate:
• the completion of most players’ 2025-26 seasons
• the availability of a multi-ice facility
• the availability of volunteer coaching staff, outside of their primary hockey commitments

Registration will officially open on January 15th, 2026. To learn more about the NAHC and Team BC Hockey, please visit https://isparc.ca/performance-sport/team-bc/national-aboriginal-hockey-championships/
