Jason Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 With more PDL clubs in Canada than ever before, I wanted to see if we could put together a list of Canadian players to watch for in the future. It could be an interesting exercise and fun to look at later on. I am only thinking of Canadian players, so foreigners playing on Canadian clubs don't count (that takes away most the the TB Chill roster) but Canadians on American PDL clubs could be included. I will start with four suggestions: Diaz Kambere and Brad Peetoom, both with Abbotsford, Jordan Hughes with Victoria and Randy Edwini-Bonsu of Whitecaps residency. Kambere is only one year from an appearance with TFC and as a regular with the Whitecaps. I would think he still may have a chance to go further. Peetoom was part of the 2005 U20 club so he may still have potential. Hughes has pro experience. Edwini-Bonsu is one of many players with huge potential on the residency team.

bettermirror Posted July 12, 2009 Share Posted July 12, 2009 Peetoom may be able to move up to the Whitecaps, however, I doubt they'd recall Kambere - and he only played for TFC as they were desperate for players and WFC wasn't about to send TFC their stars. Edwini-Bonsu is defo worth a watch though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marco07 Posted July 13, 2009 Share Posted July 13, 2009 I would add 17 year old Darren Jones from the Victoria Highlanders to that mix as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been a while since we talked. Rickster, how does one get in touch with you? I spoke to Roman, he can't find your number, at least not quick enough lol. I need to talk to you - soon. There is no email or PM on this board. How do we make this happen? Thanks Rick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 Jordan Webb was a sub in the Italia Shooters game yesterday against North York Astros. This game was a Rogers broadcast so there's another thread to actually download and watch that game. I couldn't tell if he got any game action or not. I had retreated to my car to watch the game from the endzone during the neverending rain. Rick Titus is definitely featured in that game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champs Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 One player that I guess no one noticed is Vince Petrasso playing for Cary which is in the Semis. He also has been playing alot of minutes with the team and is playing some good soccer down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalglish07 Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 Will Beaugé from Ottawa is a PDL star. Made the all league team last year and scored 10 goals and added 6 assists again this year as a RW. I can't see how he hasn't got a look from Impact, TFC or Whitecaps yet. For that matter national team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dalglish07 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 nolando, stupid comment. Whitecaps and Impact are hardly superb teams. How can someone with a pedigree like that get a trial at San Jose of the MLS and not with the other two teams? How hard is it to give someone a trial. I'm not talking about everyone I am talking about someone who is a 2 time PDL All Star and out performed players in your own PDL squad. Your response is typical small time Canadian soccer thinking.

finchster Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Well if this Will Beaugé guy is an all star in the PDL twice and is young,(I don't know his age) I don't see any reason why he shouldn't be given a shot at at least at the USL 1 level.

jpg75 Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Beauge is an '87, so he's 22 this year - still young. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeing as how San Jose is quite poor compared to either of the Canadian USL teams, I can quite easily see how he would get a trial with the Earthquakes and not get a sniff from the Impact or Whitecaps. Good luck to the young man. His PDL record is terrific. Let's see him put it together in a higher league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettermirror Posted July 31, 2009 Share Posted July 31, 2009 If Everton can sign a PDL guy then why can't it happen for other players to move well up??? If anyone believes all the top players in North America are scouted, then they really aren't in their right mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrier Posted August 6, 2009 Share Posted August 6, 2009 quote:Originally posted by rick titus Jordan Webb Toronto Lynx. Good young player for sure! Also consider Matthew Smith who led the Lynx in minutes played this summer, having been on the field for every minute of every game except for the second half at Kalamazoo, which was due to a first half injury. Matthew moved up to the PDL team this year after captaining the U20s last season to the North American final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
