Well the Pac Cup draw for the Valley has been done and all the first round match-ups have been set. Now for the Imperial in the VMSL. Top four teams from this tourney get into the B.C's along with the Top four from the VMSL Premier League.
As of today, top four in league are Inter (20 points), Burnaby (19), Slurrey (18), and Fireman and Sapperton with 17 points. So that would leave the rest of the Premier teams fighting for a Provincial spot by getting to the semi's of the Imperial.

All the teams that wanted to enter the Imperial Cup, had to contact the league by Dec. 31.
"IMPERIAL CUP: The time has come for our Division 1 teams to declare whether they wish to participate in the 2005 Imperial Cup or the Division 1 Cup. The deadline for making this choice is December 31, 2004. If Division 1 teams (regular or CAT) wish to enter the Imperial Cup, they must do so, in writing, by that date. If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you wish to enter the Division 1 Cup. If Division 1 teams do not wish to enter ANY cup play, they should notify us, in writing, to that effect."

Anyone out there know what Div. 1 teams are in, and who has chicken'd out and gone into the Div. 1 Cup?

Not sure when the draw is, but the first round was played last year during the first weekend of Feb. Pegasus won the Cup last year, for the first time, and then followed up that Cup, with a B.C. Cup, and even a National Championship in October.

Don't think they will be the favourites heading into this years Cup, based on thier record right now, and the way teams are knocking off each other from week to week, you never know who will be hot heading into this thing. Plus there is the top Div. 1 teams that have all the High Price help, they could be a factor, but it has been a long time since a Div. 1 or 2 team has won the Cup.
Perhaps Azzi can update us on Draw date, and date for first round games, we need something to talk about with all this snow coming down.

Craig was backup back then... Ronnie Erkamps was in the net - one of the best I've ever played with but that's not saying much with HOS as an ex-teammate :D

Just shows how strong the league was back then, when you have a guy like Craig as back-up on Club-I. The league sure was competitive with 10 teams, every team had a strong 16 players, now we have the CAT system.

Little trivia for everyone;

How many times has Croatia been up and down from Div. 1 to Premier since they won 3 in a row in the late 90's.

Bonus Question: How many own goals does Bronco have in Imperial Cup play?

Back at ya bigman.

Total points are right but if the draw for the cup was today we would be ranked #1. Looking forward to making the final for the 5th time in 7years... and not winning it. :rolleyes:

Actually HOSSY it is once on the up and down and 0 on the latter. The own goal came in a Provincial Cup 1/4 final. Let's not take away from its infamy ;)

Ya, little surprised about Polonia, they don't have a bad young team, well except for TA and the bad red cards he takes.
But what about DeepCoveRoyals, isn't that the new Fiji team that is coached or run by Ivor, thought they would take a run at Imperial and see what they could do against some of the big boys.

But when is the DRAW, keeper?
