The B.C. Hockey League has set a new single-season record for NCAA Division I committed players on team rosters with 174 athletes earning scholarships to play college hockey in the United States so far this year.

That number is expected to continue to rise before the conclusion of the 2022-23 season.

The previous record of 173 was set in 2019-20 and was equaled last year during the 2021-22 campaign.
