Scott
Sheen - New British
Columbia Representative for the Northwind Team
The
VAFC is pleased to announce that Mark Block (Senior Coach - Northwind)
has elected Scott Sheen (VAFC 2008 Senior Coach) to be the British
Columbia Representative for the Northwind Team. Scott is well
suited to this role having successfully coached at many levels
including recent involvement as VAFC senior coach. With two NWPAFL
Grand Final victories under his belt Scott should be able to offer
some considerable experience to the Northwind Side. Scott will
likely be travelling to Australia in August 2008 with the Northwind
Team to compete in the International Cup in Victoria, Australia.
If you are interested in what it takes to become a player in the
Northwind (Canadian National Side) feel free to contact Scott
at scottandjanelle@hotmail.com.
Congratulaions Scott and all the best for this 2008 season on
a National Level!

British
Columbia's involvement in Australian Football at a National level
in Canada has received some recent boosts as AFL Canada
elected Darryl Perry (Coquitlam) and Peter
Campion (Richmond) to the positions of President
and Vice President of AFL Canada's 2008
Board.
These positions were available following the departure of Mike
McFarlane (VAFC Past Player Alumni and Life Member of BCfooty)
as President after Mike served several years at the helm of the
National board and has opted to focus on matters closer to home.
Mike continues his AFL passion with his pride and joy Delta Junior
league and will no doubt continue to grow that amazing junior
competition. The VAFC wishes to thank Mike for his past efforts
as AFL Canada President and wish him all the best for his future
involvement in footy!
Darryl Perry is a relatively new arrival in BC
after leaving Toronto (but we'll claim him as a local!) and has
already indicated that growing football in Canada is a real priority.
He has seen the VAFC, BAFC and some of the NWPAFL games and is
keen to foster footy growth in the North West too.
Peter Campion has been heavily involved in football
in BC since its inception and also Seattle. As a player and board
member of the VAFC Peter has always strived to put footy first
and make whatever decisions are needed to make playing footy enjoyable
for all participants - regardless of skill or club loyalty. Peter
has also been a keen member of the umpires guild and whenever
needed puts on the whites to make the game a success. Peter is
truly an all round footy guy!
The VAFC would like to extend congratulations to Darryl and Peter
as they undertake their roles - naturally, keeping a vested interest
in BC and the future of footy in all of Canada!
