British Columbia Hockey League
The British Columbia Hockey League is a Junior "A" ice hockey league from British Columbia under Hockey Canada, a subsection of the Canadian Junior Hockey League. Founded in Vernon in 1961, the BCHL now includes 17 teams. These teams play in three divisions, known as the Interior, Island and Mainland divisions. The winner of the BCHL playoffs (Fred Page Cup) continues on to play in the Western Canada Cup or (WCC) featuring the champions of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Manitoba Junior Hockey League, and Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League. Two representatives from the WCC will compete in the Junior "A" National Championship for the Royal Bank Cup.
As of July 2013, the TheHockeyWriters.com lists the BCHL as the 6th best developmental league, professional or amateur, in North America.
History
In 1961, the heads of four junior "B" hockey teams in the Okanagan region of British Columbia got together and formed the first ever Junior "A" league in British Columbia's history. The Okanagan-Mainline Junior "A" Hockey League, the precursor to the BCHL, was comprised originally of the Kamloops Jr. Rockets, the Kelowna Buckaroos, the Penticton Jr. Vees, and the Vernon Jr. Canadians.

by: ArkI've got sunshine in the palms of my hands
Generating slowly
Into somekind of a wave of a trance
I'm reancting madly
If I was home
I wouldn't be late to tell you
'Cause sure I would like to burn
But if I'm gonna burn
Then it must be fire
But now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
But tell melove
Ain't this desire
I can't tell love from desire
But it sure feels good!
Must be something in the air that I breathe
That affects me wildly
And to put it as it makes my blood seethe
Is to express it mildly
Oh no, oh no!
I wouldn't dream of dreaming that dream....
'Cause sure I would like to burn
But if I'm gonna burn
Then it must be fire
But now it burns, burns, burns, burns
So it must be fire
But tell me love
Ain't this desire
I can'ttell love from desire
