1970
The reigns or leadership of the inter-city league were handed over in 1970 to Commissioner Les West of North Vancouver. The 1970 scoring title went to Vancouver's Alan Tasker who had a total of 55 goals and 32 assists for a total of 87 points. Other players on the Vancouver team included George Angelomatis, Nolan Ryan, Rick Deslauriers, Bruce Rose, Gerry Parr, Eric Rambers, Jim Wright, Mike Rambers, Bill Seriver, Bob Davidson, and Gary Billon. The 1970 Vancouver franchise was headed up by manager Mickey Meslo of South Vancouver.
1971
The 1971 season saw Les West stay on as Commissioner for one more year. One of the best ever teams to compete in League history was assembled by Burnaby local Harry Woolley. Manager Woolley brought in a large group of ex-senior "A" players, and a bunch of good local talent. Notable players on this club were Gary Stevens, Ron Bodnar, Art Dickenson, Rick Little, Bill Chomiak, Jack Barclay, Sohen Gill, and Fred Sapach. The club was coached by Jack Dale. Dick Wills of East Vancouver was the team manager and went out and obtained a local brewing company to sponser the team. He also brought in popular Cam Brown as trainer. Dick later gave the team it's name of the Burnaby "Kokanee's". The team holds the league record for the best win-loss record. Their mark was 19 wins and 1 loss. They took the Provincial Championship in easy form by defeating Nanaimo. They later went back east and lost out in the Canadians to Windsor, Ontario. The Windsor squad was headed up by the famous Jim Bishop.
One of the major events to take place in 1971 was that the League received a donated league trophy in the name of the "Jeff Woolley Memorial". From this point, Burnaby manger, Harry Woolley realized that the league only had two annual trophies and went out "door knocking" and obtained several trophies (through sponsorship) for the League. Trophies included:
M.V.P. -- Dairyland
Rookie of the Year -- Caisse Populair
Top Scorer -- Weldwood of Canada
Mr. Woolley also donated the "Executive of the Year" plague and the "Most Sportsmanlike" trophy. The league saw potential in Mr. Woolley at the League level and offered him the Commissioners job in 1972. Woolley liked and accepted the challenge.
1972
The 1972 season saw new appointed Commissioner Woolley install and enforce a new and proper suspension guideline. The League was "cleaned up" considerably, and the League image looked good.
The top club in 1972 was The Vancouver Sporting Club which was headed by Mickey Meslo. They won the League but lost out to Roger Colban's New Westminster "Blues" in the playoffs. New West captured the provincial crown and went back east and lost out in the Canadians to Brampton Excelsiors (4 games to 1).
1973
The 1973 season saw Commissioner Woolley make some major League changes. Firstly, the League was named the West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association. A League Agreement was drafted up by Commissioner Woolley, Jim Wright (Vancouver Lacrosse), and Roger Colban (New Westminster). The top club in 1973 was New Westminster "Blues" who won the W.C.S.L.A. League and playoffs. A big surprise came at the Provincials when Prince George knocked off our strong New West squad.
1974
The 1974 season saw the Canadian championship "Presidents Cup" come to B.C. for the first time. The West Coast Senior Lacrosse Association hosted the event. Commissioner Woolley went out and obtained several sponsors to put the event on. The event took place at Queens Park Arena and was represented locally by the New Westminster Blues and provincialy by Prince George, who went on to win the event. The C.L.A. presented Commissioner Woolley a gift at the event for his outstanding service putting on the event. Later he was presented the B.C.L.A. Tom Gordon award for outstanding service.
1975
In 1975, the League saw Harry Woolley step down as Commissioner and was replaced by Fred Zinn of Richmond. Woolley joined forces with Roger Colban of New Westminster and a group out of Port Coquitlam to form the Port Coquitlam "Chiefs". The team was coached by Harry Woolley and managed by Roger Colban. This team was a great team that finished the League play with a 17 win and 1 loss record. They went on to the provincials where they were upset by Prince George "Canada Hotel". The League saw it's first trade ever with Port Coquitlam trading player Chursinoff to Burnaby for Gord McNel and Greg Grieve.
1976
The 1976 season saw Harry Woolley move on to be Commissioner of the Junior "A" League. Tony Halters of Vancouver, who had a history with Vancouver minor took over as League Commissioner. Tony was like "old man river" and headed up the League for the next 11 years. The '76 season saw a strong New Westminster squad take the League and playoffs. Top scorer and rookie of the year went to Brian Hazelwood. Ellis Miyashita of Burnaby "Kirby Klippers" won the M.V.P. and Sportsmanlike Player award. Executive of the Year went to Burnaby "Kirby Klippers". The New Westminster squad lost out in the provincials to a very strong Vernon "Tigers". The Vernon team had obtained a strong core of Lower Mainland or Coastal players. Vernon went on to win the Canadian Championship "Presidents Cup".
1977
In the 1977 season, the league and playoffs went to the Burnaby Kirby Klippers. The scoring race was won by Vern Baker of North Vancouver. Rookie of the Year went to the Jim Yelton of North Vancouver. The top goaltender award went to Ken Grieve. The M.V.P. award went to Brian Davidson of "Kirby's Klippers". The provincials saw our local Burnaby "Klippers" lose out to the strong Vernon Tigers. Vernon went on again to win the Canadian Championships.
1978
In the 1978 season, the league and playoffs went to the Burnaby "Klippers". Tim Kelly won the scoring race and rookie of the year award. Top Goaltender awards went to Doug Sato. Vern Baker of the North Shore Indians won the M.V.P. award. The New Westminster Whalers did not win a single league game. The 1978 provincial championships saw the Burnaby Klippers lose again to the powerful Vernon Tigers. The Vernon squad hosted the Canadian Championships and won it for a third time in a row. A new team that played in the '78 season was the White Rock "Titans". Notable players on the White Rock team was comprised of Brian Hazelwood, Doug Hazelwood, Roger Ross, Les Glover, William Clapperton, Ron Grant, John Lawson, Doug Powell, and Neil Tyerman. The '78 League was comprised of the following teams:
- New Westminster Whalers
- North Shore Indians
- Burnaby Kirby's Klippers
- Vancouver Disco Sports Blue Angels
- Abbotsford Braves
- White Rock Titans
In 1978 the senior directorate brought in the residency rule which allowed players to play only where they lived. This seemed to help the Vancouver team but hurt New Westminster badly. The direct result of this was a league draft which seemed to help the league florish with strength and expansion.
1979
The 1979 season saw a new powerhouse come to the front of the league in the name of the North Shore Indians. They were led by Harry Powless who became the M.V.P. of the league. North Shores' Wayne Baker won the scoring title. The league has no record of who was rookie of the year in '79. The North Shore Indians won both the league and playoffs in '79, and went on to the provincials. They were defeated by the strong Vernon Tigers in the provincials. This was the fourth straight provincial title for Vernon and spelled their last drink out of the Pat Hartney provincial trophy.
