dalglish07 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Why drive 5 hours to play a local club team? Why not play a CPSL team closer to Toronto? Also why not get 2 games in if you are coming down, play Royals or Fury on the Saturday and St. Ant's the Sunday. Also, playing on Minto is ridiculous, they should have rented Ottawa U or somewhere else, that pitch is terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaydog2006 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 First st.anthonys is at the same level as most of the cpsl teams in terms of talent.Minto field is not all that bad the field its self is not great the stands parking etc are solid.

dalglish07 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Yes Hubert coached St. Ant's. Still 5 hours on a bus for one game against a team who isn't anything special. I'd rather play a CPSL team from Toronto then travel to Ottawa to play. Have an exhibition in your own city and start to get the fans on board. Why not have St. Anthony's travel to Toronto?!?!? Have you played on Minto? It is crap. Terrible turf. I wouldn't want pro players playing on that. Istanbul players yes, pro players, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog2006 Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 St.anthonys is anything special wow big words.St.anthonys would give any cpsl team a run for there money.With thats said the lynx need to gain interest from fans out side of toronto spread the word it is very possible ottawa could be there new home in the next few years so yes this is a good idea.Aslo teams like going out of town for there exh games its a chance from them to do some team building prior to the season.

The Big Smoke Posted April 8, 2005 Author Share Posted April 8, 2005 Sigma... you read my mind. I was just about to post saying shouldn't we be talking about the match-up against Rochester?! The trip to Ottawa is very much secondary compared to the one and only real test for the Lynx in pre-season (the Rhinos). Following that match, I trust the game in Ottawa will be irrelevant for the Lynx - probably a chance to have a look at a few guys that are on the bublle for making the team or starting... and from the sounds of it, if they're to play on concrete - starters won't be looking to get in the game. No disrespect, but a St Anthony's team that plays in the Ottawa Carleton soccer league isn't exactly a prize exhibition match for anybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be so sure about that easy victory for the Lynx. If it is the same group that played last summer, they may surprise you. And, if the team is loaded with the ex-Wizard players from Ottawa, the Lynx may be heading home with two losses this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalglish07 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Same team as last summer. 3-0 loss and Lynx played mostly a 2nd string unit. St. Ant's have a lot of good players but they've won the league once in the last 15 years and that was without all the Wizard talent. Royals like it or not, and I don't, have been the powerhouse team. Sure St. Ant's had a good Canada Cup run but in the end they didn't win. Just like they didn't win the league or the Ontario Cup. St. Ant's talk a good game but in the end they produce very little. And no matter what anyone says Minto is crap!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog2006 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 The only bad thing about minto is the field everything else is fine.They will be replacing the field this summer as the jr riders are moving to minto field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalglish07 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Seems to me the field is the most important part. I don't think Minto is looking to be hosting many high level soccer teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaydog2006 Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Mintofield for the most part does not host much soccer at all.But football it is home 2 ont varsity teams the ottawa decons of the empire football league and the jr riders of the ofc and the ottawa sooners.It is aslo home to high school and minor football.With ottawa hosting the ont summer games next year mintofield will be one of the fields for soccer.

Ryan Keay Posted April 11, 2005 Share Posted April 11, 2005 Hey.... ummm anyone has any info on the lynx in those games.. geeeze i dont care about the other teams! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalglish07 Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Apparently the 2 center backs for the Lynx were VERY strong. Can't remember the names but the ex MLS defender of the year was impressive. Apparently they did not allow scoring chances or get beat. The one chance St. Ant's had was a long range shot. Local Ottawa kid Huffman I was told had a great 20 minutes and looked real good.
