A roster of 160 players have been chosen to eight teams for the Jamboree style tournament where evaluators will select players to attend the Provincial Camp, July 29 to August 3 in Shawnigan Lake.

With the focus on player development, BC Hockey will now have a better opportunity to work with and alongside the athletes.
The top players from the Provincial Camp will be selected to a U16 Christmas Camp in December prior to representing Team BC at the 2019 Canada Winter Games in Red Deer, AB.
Harmon Laser-Hume of Rossland, Gavin Damstrom of Cranbrook and Austin McKenzie of Fruitvale join Davidson at the BC Cup.
The 6’1”, 180-pound Davidson has been slotted in to play on Team BC White.
Davidson recently was recognized at the Nelson Minor Hockey Awards Banquet as Bantam winner of the Jackson Hole Three “A” award for “Athletics, Academics and Achievement”.
