2000

2000 saw Howie Smith once again take on the role as Commissioner.

The WCSLA again fielded an eight team league this past season. The President's Cup champion Burnaby Bandits moved their franchise to Abbotsford. The league was very competitive and goaltending in particular was outstanding with two shoutouts being registered. The North Shore Indians won the league handily but went down to defeat in the League playoffs to fourth place Langley. The Langley Knights defeated Abbotsford in the final league playoffs and won the right to represent BC in Kahnawake, Quebec at the President's Cup crossover playoffs.

The league continues to attract graduating junior players who have made the league faster and more exciting. We look forward to a continued improvement to the calibre of play in the 2001 season.
