The BC Lions are looking for some help this season. If you are interested in working in a sports environment and want to learn more or be a part of something great, you might want to take a look at their positions. It covers being a gameday give-away person at the gates to being part of the production crew. Here is the link if you are interested. Most positions carry honorariums for your time and dedication.
I volunteered with the BC Lions for 4 yrs as a Customer Assistance Team (CAT) member. I believe it is now called "Fan Services" on the website. The BC Lions are a great organization to work for and can help you gain and develop skills that can help you in your everyday life. Look into it!
Also known as the former Nutri-Lite Championships. The Amway Canadian Championships kicked off on May 2nd with the Vancouver Whitecaps FC vs FC Edmonton in Commonwealth Stadium. The second-tier team was unable to hold off the more experienced and star laden MLS team to a 2-0 loss. Eric Hassli scored one of the goals followed by Atiba Harris for the second.
So, the Albertan team came into BC Place last night looking to even things up. Although Edmonton FC came out strong in the first half and for most of the second leading by a goal, our Whitecaps came out victorious with a 3-1 win. Sebastien Le Toux opened the scoring for the Whitecaps taking a pass from Davide Chiumento and then headed in another from a corner kick. The third goal came during the three minute added time from the Jamaican born Darren Mattocks! The Vancouver Whitecaps defeated FC Edmonton in a 5-1 aggregate score and are now headed to a 2 game match with Toronto FC for the Voyagers Cup title. The first game is scheduled at BC Place on May 16th at 7pm. Then they will head to Toronto to play the second match on BMO Field on May 23rd.
This being a weekday and a late game, I didn't have a lot of people come out to volunteer on my team. I was short-handed at every gate but we were able to make do with what we had to work with. The fans were great and the players really appreciated the support. This is the Whitecaps 5th win in a row and want to keep that trend going. Come out and support your Vancouver Whitecaps!
Eric Hassli has landed as the Hump Day Hottie after scoring that amazing goal in the dying second of overtime against the San Jose Earthquakes. If you were in the building, you knew how electric that goal was and watching the fans leave with happy faces because of that moment, was great to see. The Southsiders have always been his biggest supporters as are the new fans of MLS that come to watch every game. Eric Hassli appreciates playing in Vancouver for Vancouver and its fans and you could tell that he was humbled by the chants of "Eric Hassli" clap clap clap-clap-clap! So he is your Hump Day Hottie.
