Of course it's distance, some players simply won't make the road trip for free.

There was a 'rule' in the HNL Constitution that required 10 Home and 10 Away games for a Season... But, I believe that was amended by vote approval at HNL recent Provincial Meetings to lower those numbers . I think was changed to a 'total' of 14 or 16(?)

Don't the Sr Eagles have a full junior affiliation, why don't they use call ups from there? Isnt that the point of an affiliation? I hope for the Bous sake its a forfeit win if not this is ridiculous Why should it be a forfeit? The Bous canceled games at the last minute last year because of "p...
