Program Overview
New for 2025
In 2025, WCAHA will phase out the traditional Learn to Play (LTP) program and introduce a new intramural league focused on fun, skill-building, and local play for ages 5–8. This in-house league replaces LTP and is designed to offer a more structured, engaging experience for young skaters and families. We are calling this program our "Spark program". Players must complete a Learn to Play or Learn to Skate class at the Bellingham Sportsplex before registering.
2025-26 League Teams
All teams, with exception to the intramural teams (Spark program), participate in league play with PCAHA (Pacific Coast Amateur Hockey Association), including home and away games throughout the season. Most teams play weekend games locally and in the Lower Mainland of BC.
U9 PCAHA: Our U9 PCAHA team is in addition to our Intramural Program (Spark program) and is designed to introduce players who will be moving up to U11 next year to full-ice games with offsides and icing. Players born in 2017 are strongly encouraged to sign up. Practices will be scheduled based on ice availability, and the team will play a PCAHA league schedule of 8–12 games, with games split between Bellingham and the Lower Mainland of BC. **Please note: This team fee will include intramural play (Spark program) as well. If your 2017 player does NOT want to travel and participate in PCAHA, sign up for only intramural teams.
C Level: Our C teams play one game a week and have two week night practices throughout the season.
A Level: Our A teams play two games a week. They have two consistent weeknight practices each week and have priority over weekday morning ice and extra weekend ice to get a third practice in. These teams are for players looking for a higher level of competition and commitment.
GOALIES: Full time goalies U11A and up will be credited 50% of their regular registration fee back to them once they have been verified by coaching staff. (Does not apply to A team fees)
