It is the end of an era as the Metro Select League existence as it has been known ends following the completion of the 2017-18 Season. The league has been in operation since 1985 and has produced some great players and provided the highest level of play for the youth players in the Lower Mainland and Vancouver Island over the years.
The league has many people to thank but none more than Peter Price who has been a part of this league since it began in 1985 and while not all people agree with each other there is one thing that Peter has always done for the players and teams in this league and that is do everything to make the league the best for the players and the teams.
Over the years the MSL Committee which I have had the pleasure of being involved with and seeing first hand for past 22 years has seen many changes and innovations that have been adopted by all leagues in youth soccer and in many ways led to the development of the BC Soccer Premier League today, which continues to evolve.
I would like to thank all the current and former MSL Committee members from the Metro Select League and Girls Metro Soccer League over the past 33 years for the dedication to the players and teams of the Metro Select League and wish everyone the best with the new direction the District Chairs have chosen to take the game.
And I would like to thank the many Referees, and the referee assigners who without them the games would not have been played, thank you!!
It has been a great ride and I have met some wonderful people and some not so wonderful people, but that is what life is smiles, laughs and tears thank you to everyone for this experience!!
