Big Jim comments:

If you have not been to this type of friendly  tournament, shame on
you!  Meet some new people and play with them on your new team.

We have the best facility in North America. Do the wave pool, water
slides, hot tub, steam room or sauna between games in this
fantastic world class competition swimming and diving facility.

(None of the "six people in the hot tub rule get out" fascist lifeguard
crap you get a facility in a neighboring cowboy province)

Prices now are great. $39.00 Canuck bucks for a  room in  a
decent hotel ( that's about 37cents US). Victoria is indeed premier
tourist location.

My daughter and I "discovered" a 100ft waterfall in a grotto on a
hiking trail  500 meters from the main Island road. Anywhere else
but Victoria, this would be the cover on the tourist brochures. It is
not even mentioned here.

My darn teammates film movies about whales and octopuses here.
BC once again has been rated the best diving in North America,
Lots of local snorkeling sites. (bring wet suit though or rent). A beer
goes a long way in getting Big Jim's secret sites.

We are celebrating 25 years of UW Hockey here in Victoria so this
one's special. Get your butt to Victoria. You won't be sorry.
