The BC Ball Hockey Association is encouraging all Member Leagues to adopt the CBHA New Penalty Standards for the upcoming 2008 season. The new standards are designed to open up the game and allow players and the game to advance in skill level. These standards are or have been implemented across the country already and will be enforced in 2008 at the BC Provincial Championships, Western Canadian Championships and the Canadian Sr. and Jr. National Championships. The BC Ball Hockey Association Executive feels it is in the best interest of all BCBHA Member Leagues on behalf of their teams to adopt these new standards and help the teams in their respective leagues prepare for these major tournaments and more importantly overall to improve the standard of play in the province.

 The BCBHA will be including the New Penalty Standards in our 2008 Referee Clinics to properly train BC officials and ensure the utmost consistency in officiating throughout the province. If your league or Referee-In Chiefs have any questions regarding these standards please contact our Technical Director Steve Erickson for further clarification at technical@bcbha.com.
