Rocket Robin Posted September 21, 2018 Author Share Posted September 21, 2018 My earlier post was on the Top 50/Final 50 (?) but after the second day they were down to 28 and all four of those League 1 Ontario guys I mentioned made the final cut.

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 Derek Gaudet is a name that should still be remembered by hardcore TFC fans: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Gaudet Definitely jumped out of the page where that list was concerned for me. Think his presence shows that these tryouts are being used by players you could reasonably expect them to already be very much aware of and to have actively scouted while playing at an elite amateur level over the summer.

Unnamed Trialist Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 These tryouts and the reporting on them is fantastic, I love these posts. We are becoming aware of an entire new pool, which is excellent. And the work in evaluation is being done by the CPL as a collective entity, also a very smart and encouraging sign.

Rocket Robin Posted September 23, 2018 Author Share Posted September 23, 2018 L1O game Saturday night had Unionville Milliken facing North Mississauga. Daniel Whyte made the CPL cut in Halifax but wasn't on tonight's NMP lineup. Kiril Dimitrov made the cut as well and played 80 minutes for Unionville and had an assist on the only goal of the game. It wouldn't surprise me if he played/coached his CSL Scarborough SC side tomorrow night. It is a road game though so our paths won't cross as I expect I'll be at Birchmount late afternoon for the Toronto Skillz vs FC London match (FCL could clinch first place with a win). I didn't get a chance to congratulate the two of them and neither the Rahman brothers from Pro Stars...all those teams finished their final game of the season tonight. Only Unionville made the playoffs and by squeezing in to the last or second last spot they will play all their three playoff group games on the road. Also Wikipedia lists Dimitrov as age 37 while L1O game sheets list 1985 and the UM owner/manager says he's 33. Now I'm thinking just wait until the trials hit Hamilton and Toronto for more L1O players to make the cut. I'm still hearing from various team officials right down to a PA announcer that there's been pre-scouting and some of the L1O players will be invited directly to training camps. The Halifax trials though showed me that if you're not the first to third best player on your team or play for one of the lower ranked L1O teams it can be a free for all.

Rocket Robin Posted September 28, 2018 Author Share Posted September 28, 2018 The Montreal trials. Into the second day. I notice Basel Rashrash from Unionville-Milliken. Quite a coup if he makes it joining Kiril Dimitrov from successful Halifax trials. http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports18/18l1o150.htm How many players from League 1 Ontario will get through when the trials get to Hamilton and Toronto? Why does the league have to chase Irish and Ivory Coast trialists for their stories? Do their struggles beat Canadians? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do their struggles beat Canadians? Their struggles certainly don't beat Canadians. Canadians are the reason that the league is starting in the first place. I for one do find it interesting to hear about guys that are coming from far away for these tryouts and am curious about what their expectations and motivations are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Robin Posted October 1, 2018 Author Share Posted October 1, 2018 Asked after the Sun Sept 30th L1O playoff game between Oakville and Unionville Milliken: The reason Kiril Dimitrov tried out in Halifax rather than the two Ontario try outs. http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports18/18l1o247.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocket Robin Posted October 2, 2018 Author Share Posted October 2, 2018 I was just looking at who passed to the second day of tryouts in Hamilton. (58) I thought there'd be more L1O guys. def Kyle Walton, mid Justin Stoddart and Christian Samaniego, and forward Daniel Jodah all from Sigma! hmm and Bobby S has been in charge for how many days? http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports18/18l1o135.htm Here's a game report from earlier this summer where they were all on the Sigma lineup and Kiril Dimitrov from Unionville Milliken (and the CSL Scarborough FC) who passed the Halifax tryouts. Atif (Hamud) Ali defender for Sanjaxx Lions (and the CSL Scarborough FC) http://www.rocketrobinsoccerintoronto.com/reports18/18l1o136.htm Jared St Thomas goalie for OSUF (Ottawa) I also see the name of defender Daniel Whyte. He is from North Mississauga SC but I read that he passed the Halifax tryouts so why would he try again? Even Paula Abdul wouldn't do that! ?

Looks like you are right though. Does anybody know if this is a rule that somewhere along the line changed in the last 25 years or so? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
