BCHL seasons

The 2014-15 BCHL season was the 53rd season of the British Columbia Hockey League. (BCHL) The sixteen teams from the Interior, Island and Mainland divisions played 58 game schedules, starting with the 2014 BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack, BC from September 19 to 21, 2014.

In March, the top teams from each division played for the Fred Page Cup, the BCHL Championship, won by the Penticton Vees. Penticton moves on to compete in the Western Canadian Junior A championship, the Western Canada Cup in Fort McMurray, Alberta. If successful against the winners of the Alberta Junior Hockey League, Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League, Manitoba Junior Hockey League and the Western Canada Cup host, the champion and runner-up would then move on to play for the Canadian Junior Hockey League championship, the Royal Bank Cup, in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba.
