Vaughan To Represent Canada

The Vaughan Minor program will be sending a team to the 2018 World Ball Hockey Federation U14 Ball Hockey Championships in Slovakia.

Twenty-two players will be selected to represent Canada and the National Ball Hockey Association of Canada as this event has primarily been a European Championship over the years, but with Canada’s participation now becomes a World event joining the U16, U18 and U20 hosted every two years in even numbered years.  Canada is the current WBHF World Champion in all of the other divisions.

The team will be scouted throughout the summer during league and provincial championship games and roster named in October of 2017.

The tournament expected to have up to 8 teams and the Czech Republic, Hungary and host Slovakia have been confirmed.

The kids will enjoy an invaluable opportunity of competing against other countries and the experience how another culture lives, what they eat, get immersed in their culture and creatIng lasting friendships with other players.

Jaroslav Melisek, Vice President for the World Ball Hockey Federation commented, ‘the World Championship will be the inaugural for the U14 division (players born in 2004 and 2005) and not only is the caliber of ball hockey competition outstanding, but the fantastic cross-cultural exchange and amazing friendships that develop are what the players and their families will remember forever,” continued Melisek. “Win or lose, this trip will be an incredible once in a lifetime experience for all.”

The Vaughan Minor Ball Hockey league is a division of the Ultimate Ball Hockey League and is a community-based organization that offers programs from learn-to-play recreational house league up to junior division to both boys and girls with the opportunity to represent the leagues at the Ontario Ball Hockey Association Provincial Championships hosted every July.
