Pre-season Review Week 2

Updated the AAA Power Rankings.

Again, here are the 2 Big Tournaments coming up:

North Shore Invitational Tournament
HSBC Classic

Will preview more tournaments as I gather more info and which teams will be at which tournaments. Stay tuned...

Also, starting next week, I'll create a page for each zone below where I'll post a review of last weeks action, and a preview of next weeks action as well.


Fraser Valley

Central – Enver Creek, Princess Margaret, Fleetwood Park
East – Brookswood, MEI, WJ Mouat, Rick Hansen
North – Centennial, Pitt, Fox, Ridge, Port Moody, Pinetree, Gleneagle
West – WRCA, North Delta, Tamanawis

Central and East teams were idle. Pitt, Fox and Ridge all had action over the weekend. Pitt beat Cowichan but lost to Dover Bay. Fox lost big to St. George's. Ridge got 3rd at the Kelowna tournament, Casey got MVP.

Lower Mainland

Burnaby/NW – Burnaby Central, Burnaby South, New West
Independents – St. Georges, Vancouver College
Richmond – Boyd, Palmer, Richmond, Burnett
Vancouver – Kitsilano, Killarney, Magee, Lord Byng, Churchill

Burnaby/NW was idle. St. George's won their exhibition game over Fox bigtime, Bol looks good to go, Murphy is ready for a title run. Boyd, Palmer, and Richmond all have exhibition games next week. Killarney beat Magee in exhibition, plays Cambie and New West this week.

Vancouver Island

North, North – Vanier, Carihi, Alberni
North, Mid-Island – Wellington, Cowichan, Ballenas
South – Claremont, Oak Bay, Dover Bay, Mt Douglas

Vanier beat Claremont without the the Spartans big 2 though. Dover Bay makes the biggest splash of the week beating Pitt and North Delta bigtime. Wellington won a game or 2 at the Lambrick Park Tournament. Oak Bay was idle. NSIT coming up for several Island teams next weekend.

Howe Sound

Handsworth, Argyle, West Van, Carson Graham

Handsworth beats WRCA in their exhibition. Argyle had some exhibition games as well with mixed results (lost to AA Duchess). Carson hosting the NSIT tournament weekend of Dec 2/3 featuring all 4 Howe Sound teams. Handsworth and Argyle are also in the HSBC Classic Dec 5-10.

Other Regions

Kelowna came 2nd in their own tournament losing to AA Duchess over the weekend. Kelowna will be travelling to the Lower Mainland to compete in the NSIT tournament the weekend of Dec 2/3. Will see if they are a Top 10 team after meeting Top 10 competition.

Richmond teams do not look very strong out of the gates. Granted it's early in the year but I would not be surprised to see them shut out of the provincials:

Kits, Saints, Killarney, Magee (beat Palmer), SWC (beat Gleneagle) and right now a toss up between Central and Byng. Central has more experience from juniors two years ago, but pulling out of the north shore and then boasting about doubling up on Hamber in a AA Burnaby tourney is questionable. As a contender RHS should have beaten Moody handily.....more will be revealed when Churchill dismantles RHS in the HSBC.

This year Vancouver > Richmond

Moody is a solid team, well coached and they have that big guy that played on the BC team (Brian Stevanik?) so that was a pretty good win for the Colts.

Yes Churchill did beat Gleneagle and Enver but perhaps those teams took them lightly, i expect the Colts to come out strong especially in front of their crowd. I say Colts by at least 10.
