So we at Post Coach obliged. Enjoy The following post is a commentary on the latest story by Lane Harrison of the CBC in Toronto https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/toronto/ontario-soccer-referee-body-cameras-1.6977122?__vfz=medium%3Dsharebar.

    Courtesy of the Northern Tribune: https://northerntribune.ca/forge-fc-referee-criticism-2023/ Excerpts of the following story by John Jacques are courtesy of the Northern Tribune on October 3, 2023 https://northerntribune.ca/forge-fc-referee-criticism-2023/. Forge’s captain and coach put out some heavy complaints about the quality of officiating in Canada’s domestic top flight. The three-time CPL champions had travelled out east to face the Halifax Wanderers, dropping the result 2-1 amidst controversial penalty decisions. “It was a great game of football. There were two teams that had a great first half,” opened...

The U SPORTS No. 1-ranked UBC Thunderbirds (9-1-0) suffered their first loss of the season, a 2-0 defeat at the hands of the Victoria Vikes (6-3-2), ending the T-Birds bid for a perfect campaign more than two-thirds of the way through the year. The...

Things more or less have remained the same with UBC and Montreal flipping places, but the bottom three have changed with MAC, UQTR and UNB dropping out of the top 10 this week and Guelph with a pair of wins over Windsor this past weekend (pictured below), STFX and UVIC entering the...

    Courtesy of the ccaa.ca: https://ccaa.ca/sports/msoc/rankings/index Here are this week's rankings and if you are confused, you're in good company. The pressing question: How does St. Lawrence (Kingston, ON) drop out of the top 15 when they smacked Centennial and then tied Seneca? Granted Seneca isn't last year's team and injuries have taken their toll this season, but dropping out of the top 15? More fuel for Coach Carlo Cannovan's group now that they may feel slightly disrespected....

To better support student-athletes, U SPORTS announced significant policy changes to Athletic Scholarships (AFA) and Eligibility on Thursday, effective the 2024-25 season.  Beginning next year, first-time entering student-athletes will be permitted to participate and receive an athletic scholarship so long as they have been accepted to a member...
