The U16 level of the Female High Performance Program began in the 2004 - 2005 season with camps held in the districts throughout the province. For the first three years of operation this level was considered developmental only and no teams were selected. The purpose of the program is to introduce eligible athletes to high performance hockey focusing on both on and off ice aspects of the game. The importance of fitness is stressed as well as the need to have a year long training plan in place.
Starting in the 2007-2008 season a competitive component has been added where zone teams will be selected to compete annually in a provincial competition (BC Cup or BC Winter Games). This follows the high performance component of the BC Hockey Female Development Model released in early 2007.
