Provincial Champs: Leading The Way, All The Way!

Reflecting on our BC Provincial Championship Badminton season

AUTHOR: DYNIEL RABANG ‘15

From June 2nd to June 4th the LFA/VC Badminton Team faced teams from across the province to become the BC Badminton Provincial Champions.

Coming out of COVID hibernation, the LFA/ VC badminton team came out with full force as they entered the 2022 Badminton Season. The team started strong, winning all 6 of their regular season games, securing a ticket to the Zone Championship Tournament. The tournament was held at Crofton House where they beat out the competition, placing 1st in the Zone and earning a spot at the BC Badminton Provincials Tournament. This momentum carried the team through the Sea to Sky Championships held at LFA, as they won the tournament and secured their first banner of the season.

The team practiced hard for the Provincial Tournament and in the end, their hard work paid off. The team faced off against the best of the best, taking top spot of 16 teams from across the province and becoming the second LFA/ VC Badminton team to win the BC Provincials Badminton Tournament.

LFA's Co-Captains: Jordan Woo '22 and Sam Ng '22, along with VC's Co-Captains: Jeremy Tam '22 and Albert Liang '22 displayed exemplary leadership as they brought home the gold which couldn't be possible without key players: Thalia

Se '25, Breanne Chan '24, Adrian Wong '22, Dayton Se '22 and Aiden Leong '22.

The team worked hard and all the players: Oafe Cheung '25, Ava MacNeil '25, Carissa Chan '26, Shanice Yu '25, Stephanie Wong '25, Priscilla Mark '24, Nicholas Santos '23, Raimi Misalucha '23, Nicholas Poon '24, Trevor So '24, Tommy Liu '24, Cyrus Lau '25, Max Yang '25 ; and managers Shannon Siu '22, Erika Bush '22, and Matthew Dichupa stepped up to help the team claim gold.

In the end LFA/VC led the way, all the way, ending their season with a perfect 19-0 record.
