I wouldn't be surprised at all if Aird departing was a Valour decision. It seemed to me that he came to PEI not fully fit, and he was underwhelming for me. I wonder how seriously he took training and preparation for the Island Games. I'm not sad to see him go.

It's coming. There will be more info in the coming weeks about when the survey will be shared, among other things. But the number of responses was fantastic. There are so many people invested in this community, and there was some great constructive feedback and lots of great ideas shared.

Dwayne we are friends, but I couldn't disagree with you more on these posts. The Voyageurs has evolved significantly since you were running the organization. I love having the forum for people to communicate, but it no longer holds the importance it once did. There are many places we meet and connect on social media, as well as in person. If the message board is all the Voyageurs is to you, then you are missing out on a lot. I am a proud Voyageur, and I chat with fellow Voyageurs almost daily. Sometimes in the forum, but usually in other places. That's a choice I make, not because I h

I should have mentioned that as well. Here are the details on that: Scarf Design Contest To help pass the time while we wait for Valour to return to the pitch, we decided to run a contest for our next scarf design. We are looking for entries from Red River Rising members who support Valour FC and we would love to see what you can come up with! All submitted designs will be voted on by fellow supporters to determine the winner. We will then hold a pre-order drive to help members guarantee a new scarf as this will be a limited-edition scarf. The winning designer will receiv

We had an epic TIFO planned for our opener against Ottawa. We can shelve it though, and roll it out whenever Ottawa finally makes an appearance here.

I thought I'd get us started again. We are having a 'Fauxpening Day' virtual tailgate (via Zoom) on Saturday, during the time that we would have gathered pre-game for Valour's season opener. If you want to join, I'll email the link and login info if you RSVP here (Zoom limits the number of people that can login, so that's why we need an RSVP rather than just posting the login info) Rob Gale and Jose Galan will be joining us. We are sending some baby gifts for Jose, and he'll open them during the call. We are also hosting a Quarantine TIFO contest, and the Kings Head is do

I feel like I might be losing my mind, but I can't find the Valour 2020 thread anymore. Is it gone, or am I just blind?

Yep. All teams are getting new home kits as well this year.

I'm not sure if 8 votes is enough of a sample size to be representative of the Voyageurs, but at 35 points, Ashley Lawrence is the clear winner. Sinclair and Labbé tied for second/third with 9 points each.

The only one I'm really solid on is Lawrence at #1. 1. Ashley Lawrence 2. Christine Sinclair 3. Jessie Fleming

We can't very well only have a Men's player of the year, so I thought I'd start the Women's poll The deadline for submissions is 12:01 AM (Pacific) January 1st, New Years Day 2020. Submissions for PoY must have a first place, second place, and third place selection. A point system is used to calculate a players points total at the completion of polling. A player will receive 5 points for a 1st place selection, 3 points for a 2nd place selection, and 1 point for a 3rd place selection. The player with the highest final aggregate total will be declared the Voyageurs International Player

I believe the Kings Head viewing will be in the lower area. They had a big screen down there last month, so it is probably still there. For Nicolinos, we will be in private room for sure, so start there. Nick is also going to have the game on in the lounge as well, though it will likely be busy over dinner.

There is a second viewing party in Winnipeg, at The Kings Head - 120 King Street West

Winnipeg Viewing will be at Nicolinos again (2077 Pembina Highway). We will likely be in the private room. https://www.nicolinosrestaurant.com/
