  • Roger Thompson Weighed His Options and Chose York9
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sun Sep 26 12:57:51 2021 / +0000 GMT Roger Thompson weighed his options and chose York9 Roger Thompson has signed a multi-year extension with the Nine Stripes, a decision he said was family-based. ?There were a lot of things to look at when it comes to my family and financially,? Thompson said. ?The best decision was to stay here long term and be here with my family. Also, I did leave Sweden to come back in front of my family for my dad and my friends to be able to come and watch me play. I missed that being in Europe.? The Canadian-Jamaican international spent a few years in Sweden playing for Trelleborgs FF and Ljungskile SK before securing a contract with York9 FC for the Canadian Premier League inaugural season. ?My last two years there, I became one of the key guys on the team. You learn a lot there as well and take responsibility for certain things. I think it helped me grow a lot and become a better player in the process.? The 28-year-old missed the entirety of the 2019 Canadian Premier League campaign due to injury and the most important factor heading into this past summer's Island Games was remaining fit. Moving into the project for next season, Thompson says he is excited to be under the tutelage of Jimmy Brennan and Paul Stalteri as well as the ?young project? from Managing Consultant Angus McNab. ?He (McNab) wanted to rebuild the club and go young and help the young boys to get better.

    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Mon Sep 27 23:57:49 2021 / +0000 GMT Nine Stripes come back to earn first point in the Island Games The Canadian Premier League never thought their second season as a professional entity would be held in a hub city. Held at the University of Prince Edward Island's (UPEI) artificial turf field in Charlottetown, its 35-match tournament began on August 13between Forge FC and Cavalry FC. Already dubbed a unique tournament by York9 FC head coach Jimmy Brennan, the League's presser prior to the first official kick-off informed fans, players and media of a creative beginning to the games. ?The Mi'Kmaq Community blessed land for the commencement of the Canadian Premier League Island Games in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. Blessing and Ceremony were performed by the first Mi'Kmaq Poet Laureate of PEI, Julie Pellissier Lush and The Mi'Kmaq Heritage Actors, a group established in 2011 and made up of Indigenous youth,? said the League. They also mentioned that every team will honour Black Lives Matter before every match, making a statement at the centre of the pitch, where Black Lives Matter is written. Forge and Cavalry tied their match 2-2 on the Friday and it was time for the Nine Stripes head coach Jimmy Brennan to address the media before his club's heavy-weight tilt last Saturday against newcomers to the league; Atletico Ottawa. Brennan said everyone is in the same boat. Fitness levels are as good as they can be, but it will all be about making the right adjustments at the right time and bringing in the right guys off of the bench.

  • York9 FC Earns Historic First League Win Over Pacific FC
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Fri Sep 24 18:21:22 2021 / +0000 GMT York9 FC earns historic first league win over Pacific FC By Jake Courtepatte After a little patience, and a lot of effort, the monkey is finally off of the back of York9 FC. The Canadian Premier League posted their first-ever league win on Saturday against Vancouver's Pacific FC, in their sixth try. Both sides entered the contest desperate for a win, with just one combined in the first CPL season. ?The boys put a great shift in today,? said York9 FC head coach Jim Brennan. ?We knew what was at stake; this was a game that we had to win, and we came away with the three points.? Though the squad has found success in the Canadian Championship schedule, playing their way to the second round of the nation's most prestigious tournament, success at the CPL level has proven difficult to find: York9 posted a pair of losses and three draws before finding their first three-point effort, which came in the form of a tight 1 ? 0 win. Brennan praised a change in formation, led by fullbacks Morey Doner and Diyaeddine Abzi, as the cogs in the wheel of success. ?I call them three-lungs,? Brennan said. ?Because they keep going and going and going, these boys, up and down that line.? Goalkeeper Nathan Ingham, who picked up the clean sheet, seconded Brennan's thoughts, saying the two took to the new lineup ?like ducks to water.? It was Ingham who deserved much of the praise however, when a handball inside the box in just the seventh minute meant a Pacific FC penalty kick.
