Sorry if I haven’t spoken to you lately. I have a sore throat from screaming over this screamer! Some “Larin”-gitis as it were…why yes, I will see myself out! #COYS #WeMarchOn #Laringitis www.facebook.com/share/r/17oW...

I like Bobby’s track record developing young strikers, so I am looking forward to seeing Forge FC’s newest signing hit the pitch.

I have no words!!! 🔥 🔥 🔥 #ForgeFC

Na-na Na-na, Na-na Na-na, hey hey hey, Helloooo! 🎵 Nana’s back baby! #ForgeFC #CanPL

Another fun episode. And Anto really gets how to interview the eccentric new coach, just like you’re down at the pub. The Dave and Derek sound like the grown ups in the room, but I guess we need that too. All around great job as usual! Check it out!

Hey, just some thoughts on Forge’s Silly Season getting underway Who do we still have? Who might we keep? Who should we add? As always, I know nothing. But I’ve never let my ignorance stand in the way of a good time. hammerofsparx.ca/its-the-end-...

Even though it pains me to say anything nice about Cavalry FC on a good day, Marco Carducci’s announcement that he is leaving the team led me to dig into the archives. He is a quality keeper, a community leader and a genuine human being. #CavalryFC #CanPL hammerofsparx.ca/a-conversati...

Missing the Battalion right now (and Wingporium) as @concacaf.bsky.social Champions Cup draw gets started! But seeing Johnny Grant and @offsidetwice.bsky.social in the hype reel is cool.

A fond farewell to one of the Hammer’s OGs and le Président of the Forge French Connection #AuRevoirDave #BigGameHunter hammerofsparx.ca/au-revoir-to...

So Inter Toronto has officially arrived! I have thoughts #TheKingIsDead #LongLiveTheKing #ThirdTimeIsTheCharm hammerofsparx.ca/dont-call-it...

Geez I love this guy! It sucks to be a rabid soccer supporter who feels ignored. Especially in a league so young and hyper accessible And I get the reasons for Game Plan Sports to go ‘Hollywood’ for their vision. In light of Valour, whatever it takes for success. But I feel ya OG fans 💔

Had some thoughts on where the league stands after Valour’s demise. 😢 And though I hate that two OG teams are now gone, I was surprised to find how much hope I still have for the “Little Engine that Could” that is the CPL hammerofsparx.ca/the-weird-wo...

I needed a little break from Valour FC folding news…but not until I read Thomas’ take. No regrets. You should read it too. Now on to plotting the return of Winnipeg and Edmonton to the league!

I miss Valour FC already. I feel for the fans, players and staff So I wrote a little something as some catharsis. Not for answers, since I don’t have any Hopefully it helps you too. Remember the good and the bad Be happy it happened Be hopeful it returns hammerofsparx.ca/the-death-of...

Congratulations Scotland…hoping to catch a match here maybe 🤔 ⚽️ #WorldCup2026

Former Forge FC standouts will be reppin’ the Hammer at the World Cup (or maybe better put coupe de monde!) Garven Metusala and Woobens Pacius and their Haiti 🇭🇹 National Team have qualified for the 2026 World Cup! #Haiti #LesGrenadiers #Concacaf #WorldCup

Congratulations to #AtleticoOttawa and all their fans, especially @capitalcitysupporters.com and the #BytownBoys What a final! 🇨🇦 ⚽️ ❄️ 🏆

Umm, so what do fans think f teams who didn’t make the @cplsoccer.bsky.social Finals normally do on Northstar Cup weekend…I’m new here? 😘 #CanPL #ForgeFC #Finals

It’s been a while, but I had some time to kill on my flight ✈️ hammerofsparx.ca/another-step...

Today I got to shout out the @pacificfc.bsky.social Tridents on a flight I worked to Victoria Classy guys to a man & as former champs, I know they’ll be better next year That said, I did give them a little good-natured Forge banter Now if you haven’t yet, go watch some #CanPL soccer near you!

Kinda surprised Bekks cane of and Mo stayed in, but hey, trust Bobby. Like the Ampomah goal, but not the Sergio response, 😮 😭

The @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social vs @heartsofpine.bsky.social friendly wasn’t so…friendly? But it was wild. Two red cards possibly? (Rushenas seemed to get one late) A golazo in added time. Two keepers unable (like me) to tell what the lines are. Absolutely awesome madness. I love this game ⚽️

Hang this up the Louvre…or even better the AGH. 👩‍🎨 #TopOfTheTable #ForgeFC

Hey sometimes in my fandom I lose the forest for the trees Nitpicking (and sometimes legitimately critiquing) the league and my team, but also forgetting to allow for a sense of gratitude to swell up every once in a while So here is my attempt to rectify that hammerofsparx.ca/forge-fc-and...

Maybe own goals are less a Dan thing, and more an HFX thing, 😂 ⚽️ #FORHFX #CanChamp

$5 beer ✅ Butt in my seat ✅ ☀️ in tue sky ✅ Now let’s get started! #FORHFX #CanChamp

Exciting start. 1-1 chances for both sides. But I hate dives and elaboration. Jeremovic’s takes to rolling around like he’s been shot, and next thing you know, he’s off the pitch and Forge is under pressure #DontDive #YRKFOR #CanPL

Thank you #VWFC!!!! This has been a blast and well worth staying up for 🤩 #ConcaChampCup

Striker quality the difference in the end. As well as they played overall, Campbell, Diaz and even Navarro (plus the kid on a breakaway) all had chances to put a nail in this one (Campbell’s was too early to be a real nail). Warschewski gets a single (half) chance late, and it’s a draw. #CanPL

A long way to go, but great start for Vancouver FC. Mael Henry and Baldissimo are solid subs though Let’s go 2nd half #CAVVAN #CanPL

Campbell looks like he is really back this year! Great stop Carducci 😮 🦅 looking good

Getting Laing up to speed looks really important based on how the Montgomery/Field CB partnership looks early Ooof! 0-1 Cavs trail at home early #CanPL #CAVVAN

If I can’t be in Calgary to boo them live, or even at home in the Hammer, it feels like channeling my hate from Edmonton is an appropriate back up plan. 😂 C’mon you Eagles 🦅! #CanPL #QueSeraSera

My week 2 rantings and ravings about where the teams stand. From the favourites to the wooden spoon-iest. Even the lazy sides that didn’t bother to show up. It’s all here, in cheeky form, for the masses hammerofsparx.ca/canpl-week-2...

Me: All right, here we go, some CanPL soccer as neutral! *Two mins into the game Me: Go Wanderers! Smash them everywhere! (Ahh, when a plucky little East coast team has a place in your heart/you remember how much you hate York 😆) #YORHFX #CanPL

A little delay in getting this out Week 2’s will be quicker But I think this all still holds What I think about the 8 CanPL teams after week 1 hammerofsparx.ca/blog/?blog_t...

Good morning @tsnofficial.bsky.social Thanks for showing some Canadian Premier League games on your network! ❤️ Any chance that we can get some scores, highlights or even the ability to favourite the league and its teams? Love the coverage so far, articles about teams, games and goals players!

It’s not easy always being right. Is HFX gonna choke up all 3, hang on for one, or pull off something unlikely? #Drama

Somethings never change…HFX now set to try to hang on in Ottawa, before inevitably capitulating 🧐 ATO 1-2 HFX

Now even fun-ner! ATO 0 - HFX 2 Rea with a little bit of magic! 🤩

Fun start to the ATO-HFX match. Camera view is better this year. Halifax looks good. Zapater is still an important player (great defending) An early goal for the visitors- that was a beaut! And now we are having some fun 🤩

Another good podcast from the @footyprime.bsky.social crew Nice to hear from the CPL commish and get a feel for expansion (or not), the CRTC frustration, a game in Quebec (finally) and more And the FP Crew is always insightful, nuanced and weirdly inappropriate. A perfect mix 😊 #CanPL

Things #CanPL got right with this: Home team is the team with the lowest attendance, so fewer unhappy customers/fewest refunds. Plus they are used to University pitches ✅ Other team boasts a bunch of Quebec talent ✅ Quebec City needs a taste of this league ✅ northerntribune.ca/canadian-pre...

Another solid assessment from Thomas in my opinion (even accounting for my biases 😉) Will Forge live up to expectations, or did they hey greedy - a la Atletico Ottawa’s Galacticos? Only time will tell. (Now hurry up time!) #CanPL #ForgeFC #Season7

THIS IS THE LAST WEEKEND WITHOUT THE #CANPL UNTIL NOVEMBER!!!

I may not be as hardcore as I was in my youth, but it is still awesome to be an Eagles fan! 💚 🤍 🦅

The #CanMNT has booked another big friendly! Jesse Marsch will lead Les Rouges against Wales just a few days after the country faces Romania in September.

Black history month moment: - First Black 🇨🇦 Pilot - Trained 🇬🇧 pilots in WWII - Finished active duty as a Bomber Gunner - Helped get one of only two flying Lancaster Bombers back in the air #BlackHistoryMonth #DiversityIsOurStrength digitalcollections.mcmaster.ca/pw20c/case-s...

A top-notch review (preview?) of the 2025 HFX Wanderers side. If they match up to this breakdown they’ll be playoff bound this year. I think defensively they should be much better, including between the pipes. And they will be much more dynamic up top. Definitely some addition by subtraction.

Pumas are not very good at killing off games Cavalry are 🧨 #ConcaChamps
