The Vancouver Warriors had a historic season last year, making the playoffs for the first time, and had a very clean home record at Rogers arena only losing 2 games at home. With the new season starting soon, what are the expectations for the warriors going into the new season. Lets get into it!

2024/25 Season

Last season the Warriors ended the season with a record of 11-7 and were fairly proficient in scoring with a season total of 196 goals. Keegan Bal was their main offensive juggernaut contributing 43 goals and 68 assists. They made it to the playoffs and hosted their first ever playoff game at Rogers Arena where they hosted Rochester in the quarter finals and won. Sadly their season ended in the semi finals when they took on the Buffalo Bandits who easily got the job done against the warriors.

What Worked and What Didn’t Work?

Last year the away record really hurt the Warriors as they had a record of 4-5. this really hurt their opportunities to climb further in the standings last season and be able to compete for the top seed. Scoring depth was also lacking with the majority of the scoring coming from Keegan Bal. In order to further compete especially in the playoffs its crucial for the team to be able to rely on others to provide in the goals department. Lastly, the goaltending. Acquiring Del Bianco last season had a big impact on the team, but last season he was overplayed due to the lack of backup depth in their rotation. It is key that next year they have the mean to backup goaltenders who are able to fill in for Del Bianco so that he is healthy and fresh when needed.

2025/26 Season Ambitions

In the upcoming season, the Warriors are looked at as being legitimate contenders in the west. The coaching staff and management were not happy with last seasons results and are looking to build off of the season. If they are able to be consistent in pacific rivalry games within their division, this will be a game changer for the team. The team also have an abundance of young players. If they start growing into the potential they have been set to fill, that could also give the warrior a huge push throughout the stretch.

How do you think the Vancouver Warriors will do in the 2025/26 season?
