Nine Stripes Forever

by Josh MacKenzie

The Canadian Premier League always seemed like a dream. I've watched football in this country for years, and yet it was always unpolished. TFC came along and was incredibly important for our city and country but never spoke to me, I could just not get into an American League and it’s teams.

It wasn't until York9 came to town that I found what I was looking for, a professional football club 10 minutes down the road from me. I was able to have a place to meet friends for cheap tickets and drinks, a place to build realtionships with the community around me.
