The biggest concern I have is not the private programs but that several of them are run by the technical directors of the non profit clubs. If you are hired and drawing a salary then your priority should be the club, and developing the programs within the club. Im still getting emails for a...

Holy moly. Is it the first time? I mean I 100% agree with you on division size, the tiering, and when. Nice. :)

This is why make up games are important. If you dont do you makeup game and you are 3 points behind in the end, then thats on you. If you opponent refuses the make up game its a forfeit. Hopefully next year they can allow them again.

GOD help us. Everyone below Div 1 would be scheduled together... I'm kidding of course. LOL If it comes to the point where there is not an easy pick, then they should have a game to figure it out. Even on a weeknight like we did on my daughters team in u16. We had to drive out to Mission on a...

Do we have any quality academies in Surrey?

I feel exactly the same way. Start early. End early. Bye weeks. Cancelled games on cup weekend. And it was great this year weather wise.

Hopefully Herv. :) They could call it Div 3 a/b/c for all I care. Call it all rec/house. It doesn't really matter. All that matters is that kids are in divisions that fit their skill levels.

You have a very narrow minded view. Its not fair shoe horn every kid below div 2 into the same mold. In the same way you cant force everyone below bcspl into the same division. That is unless you dont care about the experiences of the kids who dont fit in at div 3.

Div 3 has never been house. Div 4 was house. And the distinction between has never been a smooth gradient. The new Div 3/Rec should not encompass all players below Div 2. That is just not fair at all to the players. When my daughter was playing they had up to div 5. Why is this not available in...

If there is a house league then thats perfectly fine (what I meant by rec), but the notice only mentioned it for u11-12. There are teams at the lowest end of the spectrum getting thrashed. I just wantvthem to have fair fun seasons as well. I have myown kids that played at different levels and I...

Traditionally we had div 1-4 in District 5 plus Metro. Now we will have 4 divisions in bccsl, which will include metro at the top regardless of nomenclature. I cant help but think of all the kids at the botyom who love the game, play to the best of their ability, but will get trimmed out...

How can we nominate Rich to the BCCSL board???

I think they need a rec division though. As for this season being far from perfect, what they did with cup play was a DISASTER. Who's idea was a one and done? For example we played our first and only cup game on Nov 11. Add to the fact that on those BYE weekends prior we didn't play at all...

Canucks are playing for the draft pick. Its been a long time since it meant something to be a Canuck, or for that matter, a fan.

Who will take over womens then? EDIT: NVM "One of Herdman’s assistants, Kenneth Heiner-Møller, will take over as head of Canada’s women’s program."

They just beat the second place team 7-0.

No. Im good. Im just taking part in the conversations here. Im not coaching this year and my son is playing for Rich so he gets to hear me complain. Lol

Except there is no d5 anymore. And d5 did not have a good record of tiering either. But cup play set up was definitely better.

Maybe with metro joining they need to go 8 divisions and a more fluid approach to tiering. With the end game being that where you end up in dec decides your place in league cup. League cup should start in jan. I think playing a cup game after 2-3 preseason games isnt really fair either.

They played gac won 6-1 and sdu with a 5-0 score. In cup. Sdu beat both bct and ccb jets before tiering so even at 6th is a good team. Regardless I agree its too common and situations like these should be looked at to see whats best for the kids.
