Or can you already? Lol. 23 is tough once the injuries pile up. I read somewhere that teams will be allowed to sign 4 u18s on developmental contracts on top of the current 23 man roster, they count against the salary cap, looks like FC Edmonton are the first by signing 16 year-old keeper Joseph Holliday from their academy.

Never heard of him before - and long term, dentist is a good plan. I trust player's self-assessment about their realistic long term chances to out-earn their potential career.

Maybe it was mix of wasn't at the level Koch required from the young guys plus wanted to focus on school. Shamit shome got by uofa eng (insane work load) and playing for Colin Miller. If your planning on retiring .. you can earn more savings for tuition by playing in the bubble in a week or so on a cpl contract or usport contract every summer ..

The people it was directed at appear to have been offended by it: https://northerntribune.ca/fc-edmonton-social-media-criticism/ ...It’s certainly a head-scratching moment for the Alberta-based side, especially given who it was directly calling out: Gord Walker is a longtime fan who provided away support to every venue the club travelled to in 2019, while Jack O’Brien’s support for the club extends beyond its Canadian Premier League era, too...
