New ice for the 23/24 season is now in at the Comox Valley Sports Centre, home of the Comox Valley Glacier Kings, one of 11 VIJHL teams moving up from Junior B to the more coveted Junior A level.

“Exciting for myself when I call and recruit now I don’t have to say, ‘Hey, it’s Mike Nesbitt from the Junior B team.’ It’s Junior A, and that’s where kids want to be, everyone always wants to be at the top level.”a significant transformation that will see current Junior B teams in the Kootenay International Junior Hockey League, the Pacific Junior Hockey League, and the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League reclassifying as Junior A.

The plan means a continued pathway for players to higher levels of hockey, like the Western Hockey League and Canadian Hockey League.
