British Columbia Provincial Soccer Championship
The Vancouver Metro Soccer League (VMSL) is a soccer men's league operating in British Columbia, Canada primarily in the Lower Mainland area.
The league is an amateur league, and does not compete against or promote teams to the Canadian Soccer Pyramid. The Premier Division provides the highest level of amateur play in British Columbia. This league has produced several British Columbia Soccer Association Province Cup Champions, including the last 5 consecutive champions. In 2007, the league also produced a runner-up to the Open Canada Cup in Columbus Clan FC.
The league has been home to several former USL First Division players, including Johnny Sulentic (Croatia SC), Alfredo Valente (Coquitlam Metro-Ford), David Morris (Pegasus FC), Jason Jordan (RCIU Legends), Jeff Clarke (Surrey United), Steve Kindel (Columbus Clan FC) and Ivor Evans (Richmond FC Olympics), who generally played in this league while free agents.
Teams in the VMSL play for the Imperial Cup, which has been contested since 1913.
