November 11, 2014 - EA Sports BC Soccer Premier League Cup Finals take place in Coquitlam on the
November 15/16 weekend.
Hosted by Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC, and taking place at Coquitlam’s Town Centre Park, the BCSPL
League Cup Finals will feature the top two teams from the last 2 months of round robin, quarterfinal
and semifinal play. In the previous two seasons, 2012 and 2013, the League Cup Final matched the
phase 1 (Feb to June) winner against the phase 2 (Sept to Nov) winner. However, for 2014, an
enhanced format was created to ensure all teams maintained a player development focus while still
having an opportunity to compete throughout the fall and into playoff rounds.
In 2013, the BCSPL League Cup Champions went on to face the Washington State Champions from
their High Performance League (RCL) in December. That inaugural event was hosted by Washington,
with the BCSPL winning 6 of 8 matches against their US counterparts. This cross-border special event
will continue in 2014 with the BCSPL League Cup Champions hosting the Washington Champions on
the Dec 13/14 weekend. Here is the 2014 BCSPL League Cup schedule:

and soccer community representatives, to create a new high performance level of competition and
support player development at the provincial, professional and national team level. It will simplify
scouting of top young players, provide an elevated level of competition and increase the chance for
players fulfilling their potential and creates a dynamic new commercial property at the pinnacle of
