PlayFullScreen is about empowering teams and leagues to become their own media broadcast companies. By introducing web based tools that anyone can work with, sports teams and leagues can create live and archived Internet broadcasts, make these available to an audience as a free offering or as a Pay per View and deliver it to all three screens, TV, Computer and Mobile. Most importantly, PlayFullScreen ensures that the teams and leagues maintain rights and control of their broadcast asset.

The BC Hockey Major Midget League was established in 2004 to provide elite level 15, 16 and 17 year olds an opportunity to play within their own age group at a high level and be developed for the next level of hockey. These teams have an opportunity each year to compete for the National Midget Championship.
