Hello again.
It is time to start up a bit of discussion about this season's rankings. How should this shake out to start the year? Staff are looking for reader input. A few items for consideration:
Westside are BC Champs, but fininished fourth last year in the VMSL, and lost out in VMSL Cup play earlier on, and are usually slow starters. Staff are exploring rumours that some of their players have moved on.
Delta FC were BC finalists, but staff are reporting they may struggle to make the BCs this year?
Poco Castillians were double winners (Cup and League) last year in the FVSL, but lost out early in the BCs...staff are reporting they have added some players this year, including a poach or two from the BC Champs. Possible #1 ranking out of the gate? Or not?
Columbus FC were a strong second place finisher in the VMSL last year, and have benefited from Cliff's demise...always a contender...
West Van FC were VMSL double winners last year, but their team has split in two, downsizing the Prem side, who have added several quality new players, and had several players move on to a team run by Eagles....
Surrey United have parted ways with Coach et al...they have been sliding a bit lately, but pulled things together late last year to qualify for the BCs and make the VMSL Cup final...what is on the horizon for this team, formerly a real heavyweight in these rankings.
Sapperton finished 3rd in the VMSL last year, but rumour has it this team is another squad who had a bit of a break up over the off season, and have been struggling to find new players.
NDUA...what is going on with these guys? Curiously quiet out of that camp...RF, is there another reunion, and is Coach et al looking to amalgamate with another in a series of teams?
Speaking of amalgamation, what is going on with this unholy Peace Arch/Dragons tryst? Could not have Peace Arch just merged with Peace Arch?
What is going on up in the NCSL?
In any event, welcome back to this year's rankings. Staff really appreciate any input provided by you fans out there.
