Why should the Sun or Province write articles about it? They don't since the readers don't care and it doesn't sell papers.
If this league goes ahead, like I think it should, it should have nothing to do with all the old, allready had their chance at trying to play pro or go over-seas, and should be all about the up and coming young players of this area. If we want to be like Jr Hockey in this country, then, make the league like that, not a top semi-pro league that older players can relive the glory days in.
This new league would be for the best players coming out of youth, allmost a reserve league for the USL and MSL. Then the VMSL, FVSL, and IVSL that is left, is for the young kids that didn't make it, and the old farts that can stll play, but will never go any higher than the local leagues.
It is a great idea, because, the VMSL and FVSL have been used as development leagues for young players coming up in the system for far too long.
What does a young 16 or 15 year old kid get out of a Premier training session, it is a over-rated beer league, the young kids should have better places to go then the top Premier leagues in the lower mainland.
If the league happens, I hope that it is to develop the young players, and not boost egos of the old has-beens.
