BC Soccer Legend Will Azzi leaves us at 86

The soccer world lost a local legend with the passing of BC Soccer Hall of Famer William Azzi who was a tireless and powerful builder of soccer teams, clubs and leagues in the lower mainland for many a decade. You can find a full bio on the BC Soccer Hall of Fame website. He will always be fondly remembered by the VMSL for everything he has done for the league and his ongoing memory is crystallized in the league's branding of its top honour, the VMSL Premier Division League Title, in his name.

You can find the obituary here. A funeral mass for William will be held Friday, October 25, 2024 from 10:30 AM to 11:30 AM at St. Francis De Sales Parish, 6610 Balmoral St, Burnaby, BC V5E 1J1.

Angelo Pulice retires from the VMSL

Longtime VMSL Board member and VMSL Referee Scheduler, Angelo Pulice is retiring from the VMSL to spend more time with his grandsons, family and friends. Behind the scenes, Angelo has diligently kept the VMSL games going for 20 years as the league continuously grew and added assistant referees to more divisions. For Angelo, this is just a scaling back of all his community service. He is a key builder and leader of the Greater Vancouver referee pool and the VMSL will sorely miss his flawless service. We wish him all the best.
