I read this online this morning

the BCHL may have to consider broader changes themselves in order to keep up.
"My guess is our league will try and split into two tiers. A 'super league" with all the big programs and a 'development league' with young players and maybe a pay-to-play model

With any luck they will sell the Vipers to competent ownership

I wonder anonymous if you actually go to any vipers games or is your life so boring all you can do is focus on the negative rather than trying to be positive about our local team. Your attitude has the ship already sunk before it sails. I find life can be better when you put a more positive attitude first in your life. Maybe there is hope for you yet I hope so. Go,VIPERS,Go.

The BCAHA already created a “Super Jr ‘A’ League” when they created the BCJHL, from successful applicants of the three leagues back in 1967.
