Hamilton’s professional soccer team kicks off this month As if Hamiltonians weren’t bursting with enough pride already, our city’s got another sports team to cheer on. Enter Forge FC — Hamilton’s professional soccer club sparked for greatness. Two years ago, Canada’s new professional soccer league, the Canadian Premier League (CPL) was officially sanctioned by the Canadian Soccer Association. Since the announcement, there have been new stadiums built, countless open trials, and grand visions come together for the inaugural season which kick starts this month. Seven nationwide teams join the league, including Pacific FC (Victoria, BC), Cavalry FC (Calgary, AB), FC Edmonton (Edmonton, AB), Valour FC (Winnipeg, MB), York 9 FC (York Region, ON), HFX Wanderers (Halifax, NS) and best for last, our very own Forge FC. These teams will become instrumental in building the player pool for our national team and increasing soccer fandom within Canada. The team is owned by Bob “Caretaker” Young who also owns the CFL’s Hamilton TigerCats since 2003. The Ticats, of course, have been an iconic team since the 1950s whereas continues on page 11
