BCFC suspends Westshore Rebels coach

Aug 23, 2018 | 5:46 AM

KAMLOOPS – The B.C. Football Conference has suspended Westshore Rebels coach Charly Cardilicchia for three games.

The suspension is for what the BCFC says is violating the Coaches Code of Ethics.

Cardilicchia directed some harsh comments towards the league’s executive following the cancellation of Westshore’s game in Kamloops last weekend because of the air quality.

Westshore had already crossed from the Island to the mainland when notified of the cancellation, and won’t be reimbursed for expences.

Cardilicchia was in hot water with the league earlier this season for critical comments of other teams, coaches and players.    He later issued an apology on the Westshore Rebels website.
