We’re Back! Very Different Jr. A 2021 Season About to Begin

by Gary McLaughlin

The 2021 BCJALL is back starting this Tuesday July 6th with your Jr. Bellies hosting the Langley Thunder at Queens Park Arena New Westminster.Game time is 8 PM. This season will look like no other in the history of the league. Because of Covid, so much has changed. The league will play an unbalanced 8 game schedule, ‘The Showcase Series’ – four home and four away games per team. Mainland teams will not be traveling to the Island. Island teams from Victoria and Nanaimo will be playing weekend games here on the Mainland. A playoff series announcement will be forthcoming in the next few days. Check with this site or the league home page at http://www.bcjall.com

Spectators will be welcomed, and we are encouraging you Bellie fans to come out and celebrate our Juniors and to finally see a game! However, there are some new rules for all spectators attending. Please read the following carefully:

  • Spectator attendance will be limited to 300 per game. We’re anticipating good crowds, largely because there is no WLA or NLL this season. You’ll be seeing the best junior players in the west.

  • We are encouraging fans and family to arrive as close to game time as possible.
