Season and Home Opener Tonight at the Foot! Be there, or be Butcher.

Welcome to the 2013-14 Season of the most exciting football division the Island of Vancouver has ever seen.

United, off the back of solid preseason, look to defend their third place in a finishing first contest trophy tonight at their beloved Foot against a Gorge squad which just scraped through the division last year.

This will be a good first game test for United as the Zebras of Hampton can be a tricky opponent.

See you there!

In an exclusive interview with United's new coach, the Chancellor had this to say about this first game:

"We expect the tempo to be a bit slower for these early games since match fitness doesn't usually reach 100% until a few games in" he said speaking to LakehillUnited.Blogspot.  "I also like money, bagels and Bastian Sweinsteger" he continued.

We here at LakehillUnited.Blogspot will be covering the game tonight and we expect to see our 7 readers out in full attendance.

What's Going on There??!! Inside the Player's Minds - Scott Rimek (with help from Troy Taillefer)

In the continuing series here on LakehillUnited.Blogspot, we endeavor to bring you inside the minds of some of our United players this year.

Either through picture, video, or spoken word, we'll gather the intel on your favourite United players (and perhaps staff) and present it to you - right here on LakehillUnited.Blogspot.

This preseason submission comes from seasoned United veteran Troy Taillefer who sent both LakehillUnited.Blogspot and Scottie "Teaching His Daughter to Pottie" Rimek the following video set.  Once viewed, it was Rimek's immediate response to "post these to the site."

Seeing as we can't say no when Scottie gets going, here are the said submissions.

WARNING - THESE VIDEOS ARE NOT FOR RACOON LOVERS

And We're Back!

Excitement has been building over the last 4 months in anticipation of the new VISL season.  United, fresh from placing third in a coming first competition, are set to take to the field tonight in the first evening of preseason.

There have been big changes in the offseason!  The biggest of all is the retirement of Coaches Butcher, Holla, and Benny Stanch (formerly of Benny and the Bretts).  The question on everyone's minds was, "who would take the emotional hot seat of the coaching job at United?" (hint - it isn't David Moyes)

Step forward the Chancellor, who is going by the moniker of "Coach K" in official communications (no relation to George... we think).  We're excited to announce here at LakehillUnited.Blogspot that we'll have an exclusive first interview in the coming weeks.

We're also excited to reveal that we will continue bring to you this fine example of journalistic excellence... so stay tuned!

From us to you,
