The Echo’s preview of the 1992 Vancouver senior boys city championships at Vancouver Technical, published the morning the tournament opened. The large photograph by Tom Bertrand shows Brian Seebaran (No. 15) shooting for Killarney over a King George Dragons player, and the caption has the Cougars facing King George in the opening round that evening. The preview’s team listings put Killarney at 9-1 in league play, number one in the East, coached by Ted Cusick. Four teams from the East zone crossed over against the top four from the West, four of the eight qualified for the Lower Mainland championships, and the city final was set for Saturday night.
