League trades have occurred around the league.

Players have been added to their new teams in the stats and on the team pages.

Retiering starts on Oct.19. This is also the date that the new schedule starts.

You can find your team's schedule by clicking on your team's logo in the Schedule page. This is the best way to access your team's schedule. Checking your division schedule may not display your whole schedule because some teams still have 1 game left to play in their previous tier before Oct.19th.

All pages have been updated with new logos and names where applicable.

A fair number of teams in the league still have not submitted jersey numbers. Just a reminder that your stats will be updated once we receive your jersey numbers from the captains. Let your captain know what number you want asap.

Team Roster spreadsheet has also been updated here.

The Teams page has been updated.

Please note that stats will be updated approximately 1-2 times per week. Stats will begin to be updated once we receive your jersey numbers from the captains.

Have a great season!

We have made some changes to the team rosters. Changes are highlighted in yellow.

The links for the Schedule and Statistics pages are live. Rosters within the stats program will be updated as we receive jersey numbers from your captains.

The Teams page will be updated soon.

We have received a number of questions about the player placements in the league.

The league does not place players based on their ability (i.e. the strongest players do not necessarily end up in VACHL A). We place all skills on all teams to try to balance out the teams/divisions.

We hope that clears up any confusion regarding your team placement.

The schedule for your division can be found here. The "team schedule" links through the team logos will be updated shortly. Please use the link for your division schedule to see when your team is scheduled to play.

As well, any play that results in major infractions or game misconducts will result in suspensions that will carry over to next season, as well as a harsher than normal consequences (either longer suspensions or a permanent ban from the league). Please do not think you will not be punished because it is the end of the season.
