ibrox Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Apparently there is a Senior A League up in New Brunswick now. Can anyone confirm this, is there a website out there? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coppercanuck Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Looks like it. http://dailygleaner.canadaeast.com/sports/article/1071221 It looks like a 9 team league with a Southern Conference include Fredericton Picaroons Reds, Fredericton Wanderers, Dieppe FC, Saint John and the Charlotte County Schooners. The Northern Conference has four teams: Restigouche United, Chaleur, Edmundston and Grand Falls FC. The head coach of the P-Reds doesn't sound excited about the new league. There has to be some growth of teams at this level if pro teams are ever going to develop. Owners will never invest if there is no base. This league looks like a base to me. i'd love to catch a game while I'm on vacation in NB this summer. I'm so thirsty for a Picaroons beer now .... thanks! PS- also for a FaceBook group for one team ... the Schooners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ibrox Posted May 28, 2010 Author Share Posted May 28, 2010 What Miles said in the article is absolute hogwash regarding NB's lack of Nationals entry. When nationals were in 2008, Pinsent passed on sending his team to St. John's, because the same guys who were on UNB would be given a rest, hoping he could win the AUS title. Because of this, Chaleur (the Van Horne champs) were to go in the P-Red's place..of course, they could not come up with the $$ in that span of time, so NB pulled out and got a 2 year suspension out of it. That is why there was no rep last year, and I doubt there will be one this year unless something happens. So yea, I wouldn't be shocked if he wasn't too enthused about the league. I have heard rumblings he isn't event that great of a coach anyway..and as far as I know, he's the only full-time, year-round AUS employed coach (My guess is Lewis Page of UPEI is employed by the PEISA).
