BOOM SOURCE: Chairman and founder of Novatrek Capital Investment Joe Belan has joined forces with Lee Genier to bring pro-soccer in Saskatchewan

[Pat Carrasco]

Beware Winnipeg!!!!! This is just out. If you think that the Saskatchewan bid is a joke, think again. They have lined up top guns in their ownership group. It appears that chairman and founder of Novatrek Capital Investment Joe Belan has joined forces with Lee Genier to bring pro-soccer in Saskatchewan. Furthermore, it appears that Belan recently came back from a trip in Germany where he was exploring the potentials of building a mini-soccer stadium. [see Belan in the photo]. In fact, Belan visited the stadium in Wiesbaden, Germany.

This breaking news about Regina hosting a CPL info night could easily have gone in the two-hour-old topic about Regina hosting a CPL info night.

I know it's a big deal but it's not shocking or new I'd say. Also Belan was an ex U20 player I think

Yeah but you started a thread with this info in May on here lol.  You could have just went back to that instead of another "BOOM"

For the record I don't care (as I'm sure some will) just found it funny

[C2SKI]

Excited to have them onboard, and in the news!

Let's celebrate, not grumble about thread etiquette.

Belan's corporate history and close ties with Vladimi Iorich make for some reading.

I think it's time we start a separate "BOOM - SOURCES CONFIRM [INSERT HERE]" thread for this kind of thing.

"The greater financial flexibility offered to a sports property owner by a modular stadium is already evident, especially in soccer. Nussli has already worked on two such stadiums and expects more to follow in the months and years to come. In Germany, Nussli developed and constructed the 13,000-capacity Brita Arena in just 112 days after adopting the modular concept."

We'll have a six-pack, bitte.

Nussli was the same company that constructed the temporary Empire Stadium while BC Place was being upgraded.

Well I went a few times, and it did not feel very solid, it was, well, how would you call it?

As we told you on another CPL discussion thread, OP, I haven't heard one soul in my life describe a Saskatchewan CPL bid as a joke in any shape or form. I'd crack a joke but I think this guy actually would take it literally.

He is just trying to get the MB SK rivalry going even before there are teams.  Listen Pat, you dont have to try so hard, we hate each other already!  Soccer will just give us another excuse to make fun of each other.  But it funny how Pat even phrases his stuff just like Totera......I'm just saying.

This might seem odd, but when the Riders aren't playing I actually cheer for the Bombers and/or TiCats. Likely I'm the only one.

Boom! Belan shows off new jersey of SK team in pic!

There is a good prairie boy.  I also dislike the riders, but would cheer for them over Calgary, Argos, BC...ummmm well everyone else except the Ti-cats.   Freaky.....we are CFL twin fans separated at birth and raised in opposing camps.
