Although it's interesting that the ECHL (East Coast Hockey League) has teams in Victoria B.C. and Anchorage, Alaska.

I told you in a previous post that Victoria has the Grizzlies which is Junior A. Which is part of the BCHL.

Im not to sure which bit your not getting. You wrote in a previous post there was no junior hockey on Vancouver island. You have been told twice there is the Victoria Grizzlies which is junior A hockey. Whether or not Junior A in your opinion is a major league is besides the point. It is a junior hockey league which you spouted we didn't have.

I wrote "No major sports of any kind, not even junior hockey." meaning no major Junior hockey. I can see were you could have mis-interpreted my comment. I should have written no major junior hockey, i.e. WHL.

I apologise.

Not being ableto get Adnams beer and not having enough hours in the day to fully explore this beautiful Island. I have lived here for 7 years now and still only seen a fraction of it. As for the Ferries.............who the hell wants to go to Vancouver anyway.

Not having my family and friends here to sample the beauty of this island. Been here 8 months now and cant think of anything else....perhaps the social side, nipping to the local is not the same but hey can do with out it. (when in Rome etc)

thanks for all the comments and a wee hockey chat along the way. Nothing too scary about what you all said + Victoria was just named No1 place to live in Canada based on a recent survey.

Can't wait till next summer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
