Rocket Robin Posted July 27, 2004 Share Posted July 27, 2004 now I wonder if they can keep any of them until they graduate to the big team... FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Toronto Lynx Juniors Boys U17 win Heartland Division with Perfect Record! Tuesday, July 27, 2004 (TORONTO, ON) - Going a perfect 13 wins with no defeats and no ties, the Toronto Lynx Junior U17 Boys scored 60 goals and gave up only 2. The team will represent the Heartland Division of the Super Y League this November in Orlando, Florida at the National Championships. The "Junior Lynx", as they are known in Ontario are affiliated with the Toronto Lynx of the A-League and are a part of the Toronto Lynx Premier Soccer Academy which provides youth programs for all ages and abilities in addition to the elite youth development programs of which the SYL teams are a part. The U17 Junior Lynx were quarter-finalists at the Dallas Cup earlier in the year and will now be traveling to Long Island to compete in the Score at the Shore. The U17 team is composed entirely of Ontario players many of whom have as their goal pursuing a university education in the United States. Most of the players are fine students having a grade point average of 3.0 or better. The U17 Junior Lynx will be a tough team to defend as league goals came from 14 of the 17 roster players. Tom Croft, the head coach of the U17 Toronto Lynx Juniors enthusiastically states, "We have enjoyed our experience in the Super Y League and look forward to competing for a National Title in Orlando!" Duncan Wilde, the Director of the Academy, is very proud of the performance of all the Toronto Lynx Junior teams this season ( U15, U16, U17, U18/19) and already preparing for the 2005 season with Identification Camps for all age groups taking place at the Downsview Hangar from August 16-20. For more information on the Identification Camp call 905-469-8783 or e-mail at premiersoccer@scdm.ca. LYNX GET SET FOR HOLIDAY WEEKEND HOME MATCH!

But here is a link to an indoor tournament in Kanata in February that featured the U17 Lynx squad. The team appears to feature young keeper Nils Binstock. So I guess after his injury he didn't return to Denmark ? http://www.lynxsoccer.com/releases/TLPSA2004/feb9.htm Toronto Lynx Junior U17 Roster Nils Binstock Paul Butchard Scott Cameron Adam Catley Dominic Chapman Nathan Cragg Craig Deebank Kayo Emojong Josh Forth John Gurley Jordon Hannon John Jonke Taylor Mcnamara Paul O'Hare Daniel Revivo Scott Rietze Jonathan Risorto Alex Ruhe Lischke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
