Terry Sherin Sales Representative 905-727-3154 [email protected] UP, UP AND AWAY – Aurorans came together on Saturday night for a Santa Under the Stars parade to remember. Traditionally, in the lead-up to the holiday season, Santa Claus makes his way down Yonge Street where he is greeted by thousands of residents lining the route. This year, due to the global pandemic, parade-goers came to him as he hosted a “stationary” parade at the Aurora Family Leisure Complex. For full coverage of the Santa Under the Stars parade, as well as this weekend’s Christmas Market at Town Park, see Pages 18 and 19.

  • 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.

  • Nine Stripes Come Back to Earn First Point in the Island Games
    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.

  • Key Takeaways from York9 FC?S Short Campaign
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Sun Sep 26 6:11:35 2021 / +0000 GMT Key takeaways from York9 FC?s short campaign You have to feel for York9 FC. Analysis written before the Island Games' tournament suggested the team's offseason acquisitions had cemented the club as one of the favourites to win it all. In hindsight, their performances were good. Good, but not great, and that was the difference. Three ties to begin the tournament against Atletico Ottawa, Pacific FC and Valour FC was insidious and it helped other clubs to remain in the mix. Sure, York9 earned a dramatic victory in the 905 Derby the next game against Forge FC, but a costly tie against the HFX Wanderers definitely applied some pressure. The Nine Stripes got the win against FC Edmonton, before bowing out against Cavalry FC 1-0 in the deciding match and HFX's win in their final match secured York 9 a plane ticket home. It was disheartening. Demoralizing. Place any adjective here to describe it. The boys only suffered one loss throughout the competition and that was enough to kiss a shot at the title goodbye. It's the cruelty of soccer. Even if you feel things are going well, they are not always as they seem. What does ?seem to be? is a bright future for next year and time is in their favour. It's more time to prepare for the next season; however that will look. For now, here are some takeaways from the club's performance in the Island Games.
