Miro did do a decent job but the funny thing about this game was that the retired refereeing legend Bob Sawtell was supposed to be the one evaluating Miro but he ended up having to run the line because one assistant did not show up. With all the moustaches on the field and Bob on the line, it looked like retro VMSL. Well done, Bob.
As for SUFF not keeping any vets for a "transition", that is not completely accurate. Unfortunately, not many vets were available on Saturday but that could be changing in the weeks and months to come (i.e. when Niall, Pete Hjorth and Joe Deacon finally get healthy and Hleuka completes the transfer). Although, the current players that have been available, including the U16 HPL players, have been doing extremely well.
West Van is definitely still one of the top teams in the league. They have a great mix of size and skill...unbelievable to see Shorty still out there playing at a very high level...amazing!
On another note, has anyone else happened to look at the "little" vmsl document that Brian Wevers has created related to hosting the 2013 vmsl cups? Wow, what an effort...everyone should block off a few hours one day to review it! I'm just scared that no team could possibly meet all the requirements to be the host. Nevertheless, the winds of change are certainly in the air at the vmsl and that's very positive. Great work Wevers and good luck with this initiative.
