LANGLEY, B.C. – The BCHL announced today that the Victoria Grizzlies will be the host of next season’s All-Star Weekend Jan. 22 and 23, 2027.
The two-day event will be hosted at the Q Centre, the home of the Victoria Grizzlies. The event is significantly sponsored by the City of Langford, one of the municipalities within Greater Victoria.
“Hosting the 2027 BCHL All-Star Weekend is an exciting opportunity for Langford and the West Shore,” said Mayor Scott Goodmanson. “This is another example of how the City of Langford is reinvesting its hotel tax revenue to attract events that strengthen our local economy by supporting local businesses and bringing people together in a shared community spirit. We look forward to welcoming players, families, and fans for an exciting weekend.”
For the second straight year, the event will feature a Canada vs. World All-Star Game on the Saturday night. The weekend will also include an Alumni and Friends Game and Skills Competition, as well as participation from BCHL alliance leagues the Vancouver Island Junior Hockey League (VIJHL) and the Western International Junior Hockey League (WIJHL).
“The BCHL is thrilled to be heading to the West Shore for this year’s All-Star Weekend,” said league Commissioner Steven Cocker. “The addition of the Canada vs. World format last season really brought out the passion from our players and fans, which made for an elevated experience for everyone involved.”
“We would also like to thank the City of Langford for their incredible support of this event, as well as the Victoria Grizzlies organization for stepping up to host. The BCHL could not be more excited to be heading to the provincial capital in January.”
“We are incredibly honoured that the BCHL has entrusted the Victoria Grizzlies with hosting the 2027 All-Star Weekend,” said Grizzlies President David Michaud. “This is a tremendous opportunity to showcase, not only the outstanding talent in our league, but also the passion of our fans, our community and everything that makes the West Shore and the wider region such a special place to play junior hockey.”
“Our organization is committed to delivering an unforgettable experience for the players, coaches, scouts and fans who will join us. We can’t wait to welcome the entire BCHL family to Bear Country.”
Additional details, including ticket sales, detailed event format, community activations, jerseys, rosters, and accommodations will be announced in the coming months.
