The Juan de Fuca Plate is an annual trophy awarded by

Premier Development League (later known as USL League Two
).

History

The Juan de Fuca Plate was established in January 2012 by supporters of the

Premier Development League.[2]

The inaugural Juan de Fuca Plate was contested between the three BC-based PDL clubs - Victoria Highlanders, Vancouver Whitecaps U23, and the Fraser Valley Mariners.[5] The first match occurred on May 13, 2012 at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, British Columbia between the Victoria Highlanders and the Vancouver Whitecaps U-23. Whitecaps player Tan Long scored the first goal in Juan de Fuca Plate history in the 40th minute, while the first native British Columbian to score was Ben Fisk in the second match of the Plate. The actual Plate itself debuted for the first time July 8, 2012 in the match between the Whitecaps FC and Highlanders.[2] The Whitecaps U23 won the inaugural title.[6][7]

In 2013, the Plate became a two-team tournament following the Mariners decision to drop down to the

USL Pro, leaving the future of the tournament uncertain,[9] with the tournament going on hiatus for 2015 and 2016.[3]

Following the purchase of the PDL

Washington Crossfire by a Vancouver-based group in December 2016,[10] which became the TSS FC Rovers, the Juan de Fuca Plate returned in 2017.[11][12] In the revived two-team tournament in 2017, the Highlanders claimed their second title.[13][14] In 2018, the TSS Rovers won their first title, defeating the Highlanders over the three legs.[15]

In December 2019, the Victoria Highlanders announced that they will be leaving

League1 BC inclusion for 2021.[16] However, the TSS Rovers and Victoria Highlanders announced that the Juan de Fuca Plate would be contested in 2020, even though both clubs were not in the same league,[17] however, it and a possible 2021 competition were both cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic
.

Beginning in 2022,

League 1 British Columbia was established as a new semi-professional league in British Columbia (with some of the former PDL clubs joining the league - TSS Rovers, Victoria Highlanders, and the Whitecaps FC Academy). It was announced that the club whose teams accrue the greatest number of points across both the men’s and women’s divisions in an aggregate table would win the Juan de Fuca plate.[18][19]
