YHA had been owned and operated by the ASD since its inception in 2004.
YHA was one of three ownership changes presented and approved at the AGM. All three programs will revert to probationary member status for the 2023/24 season.
Abbotsford was also confirmed as a scheduled date for a U18 Prep showcase. The Summit Centre will host all the BC/USA teams from Dec. 1 to 3.
