CHILLIWACK — The British Columbia Hockey League (BCHL) has announced that the 2024 Showcase event will be held in Chilliwack and Abbotsford from October 13 to 17, with the Vancouver Canucks co-hosting the event. Games will be split between the Abbotsford Centre, home to the AHL Abbotsford Canucks, and the Chilliwack Coliseum, home of the BCHL Chiefs.

“We are thrilled to have the support of the Vancouver Canucks as co-hosts of this year’s Showcase event,” said BCHL Commissioner Steven Cocker. “With an NHL team’s support and professional facilities, the 2024 Showcase will provide a heightened experience for our players and the hundreds of scouts attending.”

The Showcase will feature participation from Canucks organization members and notable alumni. “We are extremely excited to see the BCHL Showcase back in the Fraser Valley,” said Michael Doyle, President, Business Operations & Alternate Governor for Canucks Sports & Entertainment. “Hosting this event in Abbotsford and Chilliwack will showcase the pride and passion for hockey in this area.”

New this year is a Junior Prospects Hockey League under-18 Showcase, set for the latter stages of the event at the Chilliwack Coliseum. “This U18 event will give their players a chance to display their skills in front of BCHL coaches, NHL scouts, and NCAA coaches,” said Cocker.
