Anyone connected to BC Ball Hockey is not shocked by any of this. The former head of BCBHA, and guy who ran the single largest ball hockey league, and only lower mainland league that had accreditation to send teams to National level events, was well known for using his position in the BCBHA to stop other leagues in the lower mainland from getting BCBHA accreditation, and thus CBHA accreditation. He has also been accused of rape and date rape multiple times, finally accepting a guilty plea for a charge in 2021.

While he sold the league and stepped down from his position, he is still connected to the BCBHA board and because of his guilty plea while still on the board has now seen BCBHA lose its status.

Locally it will be interesting to watch this as the head referee for the BCBHA is also the head referee of the CBHA. The sad part is, anyone in BC, whether Adult or Minor, will likely lose any chance to play at a national or inter-provincial level.

Oh wow. That's crazy. I like to think I'm well informed with ball hockey news but I haven't heard about this at all. I'll definitely be chatting with some buddies to see if they've heard of this. That's wild.
