• Canadian U-17 Men's team earns first points at World Cup
  Congrats to our U-17 Men's team and local NTCP staff Sean Fleming and Rob Gale for a fine performance at the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Mexico.  Playing in a very difficult group, our Canadian team earned ties against England and Rwanda but fell short of qualifying out of the group stage.  Local player Sadi Jalali scored Canada's first goal at this age group against group winner England.
