Lower Mainland Football League

The Lower Mainland Football League was an unofficial association football competition that operated between 1942 and 1945 whilst the British Columbia Football League was suspended due to the Pacific War. The BC Football Association does not include statistics from the LMFL in its own records.

Structure
The thirty-four professional, semi-professional, and amateur football clubs in the Lower Mainland (the area from West Vancouver and Tsawwassen in the west to Chilliwack in the east) decided to organise themselves into a league competition for the duration of the war, deciding on dividing the clubs into four divisions for a round-robin competition, with the top four finishers advancing to a Cup-style knockout competition for the overall championship. The University of British Columbia's football team asked to be included, and then to make an even 36 teams, the Royal BC Constabulary were also invited to form a team to compete; they were based in North Vancouver, playing at the football pitch of Sutherland Secondary School.
