Dub Narcotic Posted January 17, 2015 Share Posted January 17, 2015 GK, called up to 'Camp Timbit' in January 2015 * Grew up in Victoria. * Spent several years, U-16, U-18, PDL with the Whitecaps academy. * Going into his junior year at UNC Wilmington. It's quite strange that two goalkeepers on this senior roster spent the year playing in Wilmington, N.C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I thought Melvin played very well during his loan spell at Calgary Foothills in 2015. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badname22 Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 would probably be third choice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted November 8, 2017 Share Posted November 8, 2017 That seemed to be the way his career was heading, given that he was called in to CCL and Voyageur Cup squads. Imaging he will spend lots of time in Fresno either way, whether it's a USL or MLS deal. badname22 and Blackjack15 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, but not just a VWFC thing... Track record WRT goalies at all three CAN MLS clubs is pretty piss poor IMO.

Bison44 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Melvin starts for Colorado again, Daniels also starts against monarchs, 3-3 draw. Melvin won USL save of the week last week as well. https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1113274 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Melvin won USL save of the week last week as well. https://www.uslchampionship.com/news_article/show/1113274 Alan Koch as coach explains the Canadian influence there, with 6'3" F/AM Mamadi Camara also getting regular minutes off bench. If I remember right Camara got invited to MLS Draft camp after outstanding DII career with Simon Fraser, got drafted by San Jose but never signed, before Koch brought him on with the Switchbacks. Sounds like Aidan Daniels has been playing up front and both he and Melvin have been playing very well. Should also add that Dayonn Harris came on in the 58th minute for the Monarchs this time as a forward instead of RB. Real Monarchs were up 3-1, Colorado Springs then went down a man in 73rd and still managed to come back and tie it 3-3. Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bison44 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I totally forgot about Camara..we could use some more coaches like Koch or Marcina in San Antonio. And I guess Yallop in Vegas. Get a little more CDN flavor in the USL. If we are going to really move forward we need to develop the high level coaches, and there are only so many CPL jobs. I wonder if Melvin stays the starter on a fair USL-C team, where would that put him in our Keeper depth chart? Same level as Carducci/Pantemis....below? Still nice to see a CDN keeper getting any kind of minutes. Trois Reds and Shortdutchcanuck 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 I think Camara trialed with PFC but ended up playing 1 season in VMSL. I could be wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
