The Comox Valley Regional District has launched a new partnership aimed at giving young players more opportunities to play ball hockey through the spring and early summer.

The CVRD said it has partnered with the C4 Ball Hockey League to introduce a drop-in program for youth.

League president Darcy McNeil said volunteer coaches with national and international ball hockey experience will help lead the sessions and share their expertise with young players.

“Some of those coaches are some pretty phenomenal players having represented Canada and even won gold medals,” McNeil said. “We’re actually really lucky in the Comox Valley to have so much talent at our disposal.”

Separate sessions for youth in Grades 1-3 and Grades 4-7 are scheduled every Tuesday from April 29 to July 22 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.

Players need to bring a helmet, stick and protective gear like a jock/jill and shin pads.

More information is available on the CVRD website.
