The former Canadian national team member, and current head coach of York 9 FC was joined by past teammates and CPL executives in a friendly against the Aurora Soccer Club on Saturday, in support of Southlake Foundation and the Aurora Food Pantry. Supporters young and old waved their banners as Brennan and his squad showed off some new white and green kits, in a match they won 4 ? 1. Some well-known names from across the Canadian soccer landscape joined Brennan for the cause, including former Toronto FCers Marco Reda and Terry Dunfield, as well as CPL Director Kurt Larson. The excitement in the air wafted farther than just the pitch: those in the stands were heavily decked out in fresh York 9 FC gear, many in anticipation of the CPL trials coming to Ontario in less than a week's time. Scouts and head coaches from across the league will be in Hamilton on October 1 ? 2, before visiting Toronto on October 11 ? 12, where Brennan is hoping to scoop up some homegrown talent. With hundreds of attendees expected from across York Region, is there any certain aspects that will give one player an advantage over another? No, according to Brennan, who said he and his staff will be looking for ?a good balance of players.? ?We need some experienced players, we need some youth, we need some guys that can lead by example, that can take control in the dressing room,? said Brennan.

  • York 9 FC Planning on Run at Voyageurs Cup
    This page was exported from - The Auroran Export date: Mon Sep 27 20:00:46 2021 / +0000 GMT York 9 FC planning on run at Voyageurs Cup By Jake Courtepatte York 9 FC bench boss Jimmy Brennan knows a thing or two about winning a Canadian championship. In an unprecedented move by the Canadian Soccer Association, members of the inaugural season of the Canadian Premier League will have the opportunity to vie for this year's Voyageurs Cup, the Canadian championship only ever won by Major League Soccer clubs. ?I won a few with TFC as a player and coach, and I'd love to win one with York 9,? said Brennan, who will be the only member of a CPL squad, player or coach, to lift the Cup. Awarded since 2002 by the Voyageurs, a national organization of Canadian soccer fans formed in 1996, the Voyageurs Cup has annually pitted the best of the best in Canadian soccer against each other throughout a season-long format. This season's participants, announced on Monday, will include first-year teams for the first time in the tournament's history. ?Because it's the first year of this format, everyone is gonna have a go at it,? said Brennan. ?We're keen to show our value in the CPL by getting into stages with MLS teams and showing them what we could do. ?We're taking all competitions seriously. We'd love to have a great run in the Cup, even to win it. Same goes for the league.? With the CPL set to kick off its inaugural season in April, a revamped Voyageurs Cup schedule has been in the works for months, more than doubling the number of participating clubs.

The Raiders and Twisters have been on each other’s tails since the beginning of the season. On Dec. 13, the Raiders had a record of 17-4-0 and sat in second place with 34 points, just a point behind the Twisters and their record of 16-2-3. Raiders captain Jordan Kreml said the team lost some key players from last year’s championship team and have a few injuries to members of their defensive corps. How- ever, he feels they are progressing the way they want to. “That’s all part of the game, and we’ll deal with that,” Kreml said. “Our core veteran Supplied photo guys had to lead the way for our younger A young team, the Raiders are working hard to get back on track and progress throughout the season. team which is nice.

WHAT'S IN A NAME? The term Black and it's connotation to the community. I wrote a thesis paper for my English course when I was at the University of Windsor in 1992 titled “What’s in a Name?” The Term Black and its usage for our community. I was advocating for us not to use the term! By the way, I received an A+ on the paper. Surprise, here I am some thirty years later advocating for the opposite. I am once again assisting in creating and leading another black organization in which I had pledged I would not use that term for an organization again. Time allows us to have wisdom when it comes to issues of passion. The term “Black” is used not to define us as a people, colour or race. Rather, it is used in reference to a culture with which for our organizational purpose will be inclusive of self-identified African, Afro-Indigenous, Indigenous, Afro- Caribbean, Afro-Latino, African Canadian, Black, Biracial, and People of Color. When we talk about diversity, we as the Black community and culture are it! Over 200 ethnic and or cultural groups within, self-reported (*Statistics Canada Census 2016), and we continue to grow.
