Currently BC champ is declared in May. Nationals are in October!
If you think the continuity is an issue just in our leagues (which I happen to agree with 100%), we don't exactly help ourselves keeping the status quo.
As for those who say Europe plays in the Winter so should we... well, as a COUNTRY we don't play through the winter, in fact, we CAN'T play through the winter. Furthermore, in Europe, there are no continuity issues because they are not at the mercy of the municipalities we have here where the pitches have the shittiest drainage known to man and fields get closed so easily (not to mention 1 cm of snow cancels games).
Yes, we manage to get everything in and it is the same for everyone within the province but why can't it be improved?
JC - I don't know why your logic sometimes continues to amaze me - I should be used to it by now
A national championship is the ultimate goal for senior amateur teams. Currently that means playing in the WINTER. Get it? Can you connect the dots?
