2016 Allstar Games

Posted by Vince Greco at Jan 10, 2016 1:00PM PST

Great day yesterday at Layritz. The rain stayed away, the sun was out, was a little breezy at times, but all good!
Facilities that Prospect Lake have been working on are ever so close to being complete, a great place to call home for them forsure!
The Prospect Lake people that hosted put in a lot of time – guys like Adriano Sumberac, Darren Massey, Mike Akam, Kevin Watson, Chris Cheng and others were there Friday and Saturday taking care of business.
Tents and warmth by Jeune Bros was great, Molsons sponsored beer garden worked out well, the bbq & concession was good – just a great effort by PL.
A big thankyou to Dan Shortt of Shortt Sound who had the tunes and announcing station set up. Also, was great to have Victoria Sports News there for the Final game with goal pros and post game interviews! Check out the interviews with Jordie Hughes & Cam Stokes when you can:

A big thankyou to VISL Board members who spent the day there. Getting there at 8 am to set up signage,change-rooms,sound, and put out the day program etc – was pretty cool that all but 3 of our Board was there to support and help out with the day. And thanks to Rose for being the photographer for the day – hopefully we see the pictures and they were not lost post games in the celebrations that followed!

Post day festivities in the beer garden were on the fun side as well as the happenings afterwards.
There was a security breach in the beer garden where the Masters trophy was stolen and missing for some time.
After a covert / special ops search, another VISL victory as the trophy was found. It somehow got into a FVSL players bag.
Found by Moreno Stefani and he also received a MVP toasting as he ran with the trophy over his head through the beer garden!

We appreciate FVSL coming over this year, and look forward to defending both trophies next year as a Masters & Div 1 select squads will make their way to the Fraser Valley.

Seasons Greetings & Reminders for 2016

Posted by Vince Greco at Dec 24, 2015 4:50PM PST

On behalf of the VISL Board and Executive; we wish you all the very best of the holiday season.
2015 was exciting with our 100th Anniversary of the Jackson Cup, we hope 2016 will bring some excitement – especially as we are hosting the BC Provincial Cup Finals in May.
The early New Year has the semi annual / Cup draw meeting on Monday Jan 4/2016 at Club Distrikt in the Strathcona Hotel. 7 PM start time and this is a mandatory meeting for all teams South of the Malahat. We obviously encourage all the North Island teams to be there if possible – usually makes for an exciting night. Please note that all fines and outstanding $ need to be paid prior to the Cup draw. $ outstanding = no entry into the Cup draw.
Saturday Jan 9/2016 will be the day of our Allstar games. They will be at Layritz. Here are all the participants, including the Masters & Open teams from the FVSL.
Good luck to all participants.
