Players Born Outside Of Canada

Permanent Residents
We are required to determine the residence of the parent(s) of players born outside of Canada.  In doing so, it must be determined that the parent(s) are more than temporary residents of B.C. if, the player is to be deemed eligible to participate on a team which registers on Hockey Canada Registration Certificates.

Canadian Citizenship Card-Passport/Landed Immigrant/Permanent Resident Status
In these cases, it will have to be determined that the parent(s) are more than just temporary residents of B.C.  The parents must provide proof of Permanent Resident Status (or documentation proving that Permanent Residence status is in process).  If BC Hockey/Hockey Canada determines that the parent(s) are permanent residents of Canada, the player may be approved to play at all levels.  If not, the player will be approved to play recreational “C” hockey only.
