The 2025 BCSPL Provincial Cup Champions have officially been crowned, bringing the 14th season of the BC Soccer Premier League to a close. Champions were named across all five age groups, showcasing the depth of talent across the province. Notably, the winners of the 2008 and 2010 divisions will go on to represent BC at the Canada Soccer PDP Championship later this year, with a chance to compete on the national stage. FTF had scouts at each one of the games, identifying some of top performers from each match.
Here is our recap and top performers from the finals:
2011 BCSPL Provincial Cup Final
The U14 Boys Provincial Cup final between Coquitlam Metro-Ford SC and Port Moody SC ended in a 2-0 win for Coquitlam Metro-Ford. After a cagey and nervy first half, the game exploded into life with two early second half goals, scored in quick succession. Port Moody pushed massively in the last 15 minutes of the match, but were unable to find the back of the net, as Coquitlam Metro-Ford claimed the title.
CMFSC Standouts
Aiden Sim (#15, WGR, CMFSC)
Sim was CMFSC’s most dangerous threat for the duration of the match. Sim is clever with the ball at his feet and has excellent pace, helping to create space to either run in behind defenders or directly at them with the ball at his feet. His ability to generate goal scoring chances was on full display this weekend, creating numerous chances, including an assist on the second goal.
NJ Lo (#26, CDM, CMFSC)
Lo is an all-action central defensive midfielder, impacting every moment of the match, while his team is out of possession or in possession. Defensively, he covers ground so efficiently, getting around to breakup attacks from the opponent through intercepting passes or winning tackles. Offensively, Lo breaks the line through his passing, finding anyone over a variety of ranges to break the press, and set his team off on the attack.
Ezra Brustolin (#6, CM, CMFSC)
Brustolin is the engine in the middle of the park for CMFSC. His workrate is tireless, covering every blade of grass, and always pops up in the right spot at the right time. In possession, Brustolin looks to drive past lines with the ball at his feet and threaten the backline of the opposing team. Out of possession, he wins the majority of his duels, and breaks up play very well.
Jackson Goodrich (#1, GK, PMSC)
Goodrich was immense for PMSC during the final. He commanded his box well, through clear and concise communication and positioned himself well to collect crosses, clear a ball over the top, or make a save. Goodrich’s ability shone with three or four massive, point blank saves, as his intuition and shot stopping characteristics are phenomenal.
Adam Khan Samardzic (#7, ST, PMSC)
Khan Samardzic was a constant threat for PMSC during the final. A strong, and powerful attacking player, Khan Samardzic can hold the ball up and link the play, or threaten directly to goal in transition. Additionally, he has very technical and quick feet and can beat players in 1v1 situations if given too much space.
Valentino Evans (#33, LW, PMSC)
Evans is a skillful and dynamic winger, who is very dangerous in possession or in transition. He is very tidy with the ball at his feet, keeping the ball on a string, while being able to beat defenders down the line or cutting inside. Evans is creative and always poses a threat when the ball is at his feet in the final third.
2010 BCSPL Provincial Cup Final
The U15 Boys Provincial Cup final between Coastal FC and Fusion FC ended in a 3-1 win for Coastal FC. Hometown favourites Coastal FC squared off against Fusion FC in a high-energy U15 Boys Final. Coastal struck early and doubled their lead, looking firmly in control as fans began to sense victory. Fusion reignited the contest with a goal late into the second half, but just as momentum seemed to shift, Coastal slammed the door shut with a stoppage-time goal to cap off a 3-1 win and claim the title on home soil and locking in a trip to PDP Championships. Here are a few of the standouts from that game:
COASTAL
- #9 LW – Electrifying in transition with quick, shifty movements. Scored a brilliant solo goal, beating two defenders before unselfishly squaring it for a tap-in. His explosiveness and confidence on the ball made him nearly unplayable in open space, and he consistently looked to break lines with his dribbling.
- #14 RW – Dangerous 1v1 threat with good speed and technical quality. Scored with a composed finish after beating his marker cleanly. Faded slightly in the second half but was one of the most impactful players in the first 40 minutes, constantly putting defenders under pressure.
- #18 RB – Defensively sound and physically strong, didn’t lose a single 1v1 duel. He read the game well and was reliable in defensive transitions, though he offered little going forward.
- #7 CAM – Showed flashes of creativity with quick turns and sharp movements in tight spaces. A very bright talent when he is on. However, he was careless in possession at times, turning the ball over, and ultimately struggled to manage the game emotionally – picking up a yellow and forcing the coach’s hand to sub him off. He’s a high-risk, high-reward type of player but lacked consistency on the day.
- #8 ST – Made smart runs and showed flashes of awareness, especially in how he positioned himself in front of centre-backs. He struggled with his final product in the first half, missing a key breakaway, but made up for it with a confident finish to score Coastal’s third.
- #5 CB – A no-nonsense defender who tackled well and covered ground effectively. He stayed composed under pressure and cleaned up several dangerous moments in Coastal’s defensive third.
FUSION
- #5 CB – Calm and confident on the ball with decent size and technical ability. Scored a crucial penalty under pressure and made a brilliant goal-saving tackle, but was exposed 1v1 by quicker attackers – especially on Coastal’s second goal. He’ll need to improve his lateral speed to defend higher-level wingers.
- #66 CM – A solid central presence with a clean first touch and commanding size. Won aerial duels consistently and kept things simple in possession, anchoring Fusion’s midfield with quiet effectiveness.
- #23 ST – A physical and relentless striker who used his body well to shield and hold up play. He was a constant handful for the Coastal backline, battled tirelessly, and linked play well in transition.
- #1 GK – Made two top-class saves to keep his side alive and looked composed with the ball at his feet. His shot-stopping ability stood out, and he showed maturity in how he organized his defenders and managed the tempo from the back.

Now can they do it at PDP? Here is a list of the standouts from the final:
Vancouver Island Wave

Burnaby FC
#21, CAM – Lucas Campedelli
A lively presence in attacking areas with quick feet and strong 1v1 ability. While he showed flashes of creativity, his positioning and decision-making at times lacked discipline, particularly with offside runs.
#20, LW – Cameron Bringsli
An athletic winger who was consistently involved. He provided width and energy but couldn’t quite find the finishing touch in key moments.
#6, CB – Kaleb Otuomagie
Impressive physically and mentally. Calm on the ball, good in the air, and showed composure playing out from the back. Found space well and was dominant in duels.
