Indeed, the ref stopped the U17 game 10 minutes in.. My younger U15 girl's Sunday game was cancelled early as their opponent's district had closed all fields for the weekend (on Thursday) and our coach/manager couldn't find an alternate venue here. So they have 2 cancelled LC games too.

Well, my U17 daughter's team had their last game on Sunday cancelled as both teams, officials, were at the field. The previous game had finished, all the while very light snow had been coming down. Burnaby closed all fields about that time (noon). I heard North Van had done likewise. Closures...

I'll amend my 2017 question since BCCGSL was amalgamated into BCCSL this 2018-2019 season. Any other soccer parents on this forum have only girls playing? <<<more crickets?>>> Or maybe boys -and- girls?

Rumour & gossip perhaps -- although there *are* old threads on BC Soccer Central as well as postings (from before this season) on some club websites that said Metro would be called Division 1, the old Div 1 would become Div 2, etc... Something that did not happen after all, for I'm sure a...

The league's website has a PDF document at the link: BCCSL Divisonal Structure Overview and an example chart of the league divisions for next season, i.e. 2019-2020 with Metro & Divs 1, 2 and 3 like this year...

IMO - as @TKBC says "Royal City" is a great name. I wonder if anyone considered removing "Youth" rather a rebrand to the blander New Westminster SC name. I know they want to explicitly ID with the city & community, but I think there are too many unimaginative soccer club/team names. e.g...
