A Look at the BC Club U16 & U18 Competitions with 3 Weeks Left in Regular Season
The BC club youth regular season goes to November 16th, the quarter-finals are November 23, semi-finals on the 30th and then the Island v Mainland finals will take place on December 7th at the Langley Events Centre.
Some of last year’s winners look well placed for a return to the championship. In boys U18 last year it was CW over Ravens for the title and this year both teams look on track for a repeat matchup, Abbotsford on the mainland will be the Ravens biggest threat and on the Island both Salish and Cowichan are chasing CW. At the boys U16 level last year it was Abbotsford taking down CW for the title but this year it looks like James Bay are the leading Island team and Capilano and Ravens are leading on the mainland.
In the girls U18 final last year CV Rapids (Comox) won over Abbotsford and both teams are well placed to return to the final. On the Island Cowichan are giving Comox a run for top spot. Comox claimed the double last year also defeating Abbotsford in U16 girls, this year James Bay threatens to take top Island spot at U16 with Comox currently in 2nd place. On the mainland Kamloops are giving Abbotsford a run for top spot in girls U16 with both teams undefeated.
