shermanator Posted October 19, 2016 Share Posted October 19, 2016 Didn't see a Kaylyn Kyle thread so I'm going to start one. Looks like she has just received her green card. This is important as it would mean that if she was no longer allocated by the CSA in 2017, that she would not take up an international roster spot. Orlando Pride have been marketing heavily around her and Alex Morgan in the first year, so it would be good to see her keep her regular spot in the event of de-allocation.

shermanator Posted January 26, 2017 Author Share Posted January 26, 2017 Kyle wasn't allocated by the CSA, and thus, Orlando dropped her. Pride supporters are pretty disappointed in the move, haven't come across a single mention in support of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other things make it seem like she's just not with Orlando any more. Could another team sign her and the CSA allocate, or is that a done deal?

rkomar Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 I think that if the CSA allocated her in the first place, she wouldn't have to leave Orlando. I recall that the CSA started with 16 slots that they could allocate. It's been pruned down over the years to fewer slots. Whether that's because the CSA doesn't want to pay anyone else, or because the league doesn't have room for more, I don't know. If the former, it looks like the CSA is done with Kyle. That's a bit sad, considering she's only 28 years old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shermanator Posted January 31, 2017 Author Share Posted January 31, 2017 If I'm honest, I think there's a lot more money out there for Kyle if she retires and focuses on something else. Wonder if she'd like to go into broadcasting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Yup, Kyle is retiring. Now that she had lost her allocation spot, I have a feeling she can make way more money by leaving the game than by playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 [ 1 ] Yeah it looks like Kaylyn Kyle has retired from international soccer via her statement on her twitter account. If so, then ( to me ) her last minute equalizer in the friendly against France ( in 2013 ) was her BEST international moment with Canada: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vhnEdbAPt8 [ 2 ] Kyle made no mention of retiring from club soccer though. But last year, players who were deallocated by their federations and had their rights relinquished by their clubs could only get back into the NWSL via the distribution draft which was held on March 31, 2016. Still waiting for the 2017 NWSL distribution draft. That said, the Washington Spirit sure could use Kyle; they have 3 players on their 45-day disabled list and Lohman is an SEI. http://equalizersoccer.com/2016/03/30/nwsl-announces-distribution-draft-for-thursday/ ^[ 3 ] In the future, I think broadcasting would be a great idea for Kaylyn Kyle. Thought her banter with Rick Mercer, in 2015, was amusing and she was very comfortable on camera ( 4.29 minute of video) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpiKZvwZ57I Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tc-in-bc Posted May 4, 2017 Share Posted May 4, 2017 [ 1 ] Kaylyn Kyle interview on Women Soccer Zone podcast: http://www.womenssoccerzone.com/podcast-womens-soccer-zone-1-2-1-kaylyn-kyle/ [ 2 ] Some takeaway points: - Kyle won't shut the door on club soccer but she believes that her time in the NWSL is "closed". - Kyle mentions that there is a " dark side to the NWSL" - Not explicitly stated, but Kyle hints that Canada Soccer did not approve of her playing centerback for the Seattle Reign in 2013 which prompted her to ask the Reign for a trade -- eventually going to the Boston Breakers. Kyle later states that she actually loved playing centerback with the Seattle Reign and later the Orlando Pride. - Kyle is critical of the lack of security for non-allocated NWSL players. Mentions that she was dropped by the Orlando Pride when the ( transfer) window to go abroad was closed. - Kyle expresses gratitude to the Vancouver Whitecaps for giving her a "chance " . She later adds that she loves the organization as a whole and hopes ,one day, that they do get a women's team , and that maybe she could come back and work for them in some capacity. - Sports media commentary is also something she may pursue Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
