would olympic hockey scouts come to northern bc?

Answer 1

The answer to your question is 'No'. But only because the system doesn't work that way.

Since the Canadian men's Olympic team is composed of NHL players, I will make the assumption that you are referring to the women's team.

The Canadian National Women's Ice Hockey team doesn't have scouts. Players are found through a network of community coaches, both at the high school and 'travel/rep' levels. If you play for your high school, or your city/town, then you probably play in tournaments. These tournaments are attended by representatives from Canadian and US Colleges and Universities, and scouts from the National Women's Hockey League. Since there is no Stanley Cup in the women's game, the ultimate victory is to be part of the National team when it wins World or Olympic gold.

These representatives for a network and they share their notes with both the Canadian and American National teams.

So, for a girl in Northern BC, your tournaments are attended by talent evaluators, and the results of these for the best women eventually make it to the National Team for evaluation.

Answer 2

Assuming you're talking about women's hockey, it would depend on how good the talent pool is in the area.
