Is the BCHL Futures Series the best route to Junior A hockey? With BCHL coaches leading the upcoming camps, it seems like a direct pipeline. But is it truly the most effective way to get noticed, or are there other, perhaps less conventional, paths to Junior A that offer a better chance? What are your experiences? I predict a surge in applicants this year, given the direct BCHL coaching involvement. Will this increased competition actually hinder a player's chances of standing out? Is it worth the investment if your goal is beyond the BCHL? Are there comparable showcases that offer broader exposure? Let's discuss the pros, cons, and alternatives.
