New Canadians , non-traditional demographics boost minor hockey uptake in B.C. Player participation had peaked in 2016-2017 with more than 62,000 registrations.

Rising costs and growing competition from other sports had also been chipping away at youth hockey participation.

But that is now changing, with registration surging past the 63,000 mark this season .

Kamloops Minor Hockey Association president Nathan Bosa says sport could be an opportunity to support newcomers.

Bosa and McCaw also noted the impact of hockey exposure in the South Asian community as another factor in attracting new players.

Hockey Canada’s vice-president of growth and retention Scott Furman said progress has also been made on other fronts.
