The 2013–14 BCHL season was the 52nd season of the British Columbia Hockey League. (BCHL) The sixteen teams from the Interior, Island and Mainland divisions played 58 game schedules, starting with the 2013 BCHL Showcase in Chilliwack, BC.

The top teams from each division played for the Fred Page Cup, the BCHL Championship, which was won by the Coquitlam Express for the second time in club history. They would go on to finish fourth at the Western Canadian Junior A championship, the Western Canada Cup, in Dauphin, Manitoba, failing to qualify for the Royal Bank Cup in Vernon, BC.

Changes

The Coastal and Interior Conferences have been abolished. The former Interior Conference is now the Interior Division.
Two games have been added to the schedule, increasing the regular season from 56 to 58 games.
The third round of the Fred Page Cup Playoffs will now be a round robin between the three division champions.
Player awards will now only be given to one player, instead of one player from each conference.
