League Re-Alignment Ahead For Canada West
Starting in the 2014-15 season, Basketball (alone among all varsity sports in Canada West) will adopt the following new League alignment. Two Divisions with no inter-locking play in the regular season –
‘Pioneer’ Division - (The 11 Members prior to the arrival of Thompson Rivers – ’05-06, then Fraser Valley- ’06-07 ) Victoria, UBC, Trinity Western, Alberta, Calgary, Lethbridge, Saskatchewan, Regina, Brandon, Winnipeg, and Manitoba.
The ‘Pioneer’ will have a 20 game schedule, with 5 home and 5 away weekends. The 2014-15 home and away will be reversed in 2015-16, so every 2 year period would see each team playing at every other school . (There is provision for a yearly home and away set-up for regional rivals).
Explorer’ Division - the 6 newest members – Fraser Valley, Thompson Rivers, UBC-Okanagan, UNBC, Mt. Royal, and Grant MacEwan , who are joining as of Fall 2014.
The ‘Explorers’ will also have a 20 game schedule, and will play each other school 4 times (2 games both home and away) each season.
