Tryouts
Venom HC is a premier Elite AAA hockey club based in the Fraser Valley, operating out of Abbotsford, BC, and competing in the PHL (Premier Hockey League). Our program is designed to prepare athletes for the next level—Junior hockey and beyond—through a structured, development-first model that emphasizes skill, discipline, and character. With a coaching staff that brings experience from the Junior, College, and Professional levels, our players receive high-level mentorship both on and off the ice. At Venom HC, player development is the foundation of everything we do, as we focus on building well-rounded athletes and confident young men prepared for the demands of elite hockey and life beyond the rink.
Venom HC is seeking driven, coachable, and competitive athletes with prior AAA or Rep-level experience who are committed to long-term development. If you are ready to challenge yourself in an elite environment and take the next step in your hockey journey, we encourage you to submit your player information and be part of this exclusive evaluation weekend.
Our official Venom HC ID Camp and Evaluation Weekend for the 2026/27 season will take place April 17–19, 2026, at Rogers Forum in Abbotsford. This immersive, three-day experience is designed to evaluate players in game, practice, and off-ice environments while giving families a comprehensive look into our program.
