jpg75 Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) It's been 4 or 5 years since he co-won the Feyenoord ID camp in Toronto but I think NaKye Greenidge-Duncan of TFC is still a good prospect at this age group. As of 2017 he was still playing up an age group with the 2002's. Edited March 2, 2019 by jpg75 Shway and Cblake 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northvansteve Posted December 29, 2020 Author Share Posted December 29, 2020 Great list - thanks for updating it @MM3/MM2/MM Hope we can see more of these players in action this coming season. Continue to hear strong buzz about Habibullah but we will know more if the Whitecaps sign him this year and get him some game action.

I was wondering about the U23 team, first saw a mention of it when they signed the four homegrown players in the fall. Did they play any games in the 2020 and against who? What league will they play in in 2021? PLSQ? Does MLS Next have a U23 division? Exhibitions like the Whitecaps U23 development team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimately I agree that this class year will be the best. And it’s simply just down to the ever increasing opportunities for Canadian footballers. Thank God for the CPL.

The Can PL certain added some names to the 2000-2003 crops that we wouldn’t have seen, time will tell how much better and deeper they made those crops. this is the TFC generation, I want to see how good the kids from the Giovinco and Drogba generations will be.

It sounds like covid has really effected Montreal's U23 team from playing meaningful games. I'm pretty sure they've played a few exhibition games against university and plsq sides but nothing more than that. There was talk a while ago about another MLS reserve type league but again it sounds like covid has delayed that to 2022 at the earliest. Also the team just lost it's head coach Jason Di Tullio to the first team and now Bernier is the co-coach with another assistant coach. Catavolo and Kane have been training with the first team during the preseason so far this year. Ivan and Cblake 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much every athlete minus those in major junior in Quebec lost their entire sports season for the fall. It was the most asinine thing imaginable, and an awful decision. Majority of the kids couldn’t even practice, most haven’t been able too and still aren’t. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not gloating but here in PEI (and I think the rest of Atlantic Canada) we have been really lucky in that respect. My youngest son played fall and winter soccer, the older guy played basically a regular season of school-team volleyball and basketball, they both have been going to basketball camps, and the spring volleyball season starts next week after basketball playoffs (go Cobras!). Things were paused during the initial shutdown but sports resumed very early into this school year. It has been one of the things that has normalized an otherwise abnormal situation here, and it is why I am glad we took the public health measures we did, when we did.
