For Immediate Release:  May 14, 2009

Kelowna, BC—The BC Colleges Athletic Association has revamped its soccer schedule for 2009.  The  BC CAA  adopted a preliminary schedule at its annual general meeting this week in Kelowna.   According to Thompson Rivers University WolfPack Athletic Director Ken Olynyk ,  the new schedule (which still has to be finalized) will provide more games than its original draft  and feature a new playoff format.

The schedule will include 12 league games plus playoffs. That is down from 14 regular season games in 2008: however, six teams will make the playoffs meaning the post season weekend will now be a Friday-Sunday affair.
