That's exactly how it should be done. However sadly the VSSAA league will likely have no intent on changing the dates sadly. Poor kids

This is 100% on the VSSAA's poor scheduling, not on the provincial organizers. Rob Slavik and co. can only do so much and they are already collectively volunteering hundreds of hours to put on this great tournament.
Last year the Van Tech team ended up playing 8 games in 7 days from Monday to Sunday due to city playoffs and provincials (and going back the previous week with the wildcard tournament, 11 games in 12 days). This presents a high risk of injury for the athletes and should not be the norm.
VSSAA's 2022-2023 bantam and juvenile boys league convener for VSSAA was Paul Jones from Killarney - pjones@vsb.bc.ca. Not sure if he's still the rep or if there's much he can do but consider sending him an email to if your team is affected.

Grade 9 provs...who cares What a thoughtful contribution to the discussion. The kids care, as do the adults who care about the kids.

It’s confirmed now, no Vancouver teams will be included in the tournament. Sad to hear the news.

I completely agree with the statement above^. If you have the ability to pitch this around to athletic directors that would be great as a lot of us volunteer coaches have zero pull/influence. Its a shame that a lot of kids wont have potential memories to look back on due to the negligence and lack of care of athletic directors across the VSB.

How about holding the tournament one week later? There would be an overlap with Sr. Boys Provincials but I think having all G9 teams available to participate is more important. Who is hosting in 2025? Where will it be held? Getting this informatruon out early will give everyone more time to prepare appropriately.
