The headline should read CanWest breaks records for worst defense top to bottom.
Note that with the exception of the 94-95 Alberta team, none of the past season teams won a national title.
And as for the three teams from this season that are in the top 10...while these teams are very strong, it speaks volumes for the overall weak level of play in CW.
What I would find more interesting is who were the top 10 teams on D (fewest points allowed).
I would bet a good number of them would be Victoria, who it seems is the only team in Canada West that takes defense seriously.
It's certainly not defense 1st, but don't underestimate UBC, TWU, and Saskatchewan. They are very strong teams, and will show that at Nationals.
Alberta and Victoria are not as good, but they are still solid teams. I think we can agree that it drops off from there, even though Regina and Fraser Valley have their moments.
Canada West will be strong with 4 or 5 teams for years to come. We have young, aggressive coaches, who will compete to put together competitive programs.
