As I write this, I'm currently sitting on a plane and heading back to Europe. Long flights are always a great time to reflect on things. I've been doing this for what now seems like my entire life. I've been on countless trips overseas, to multiple countries, and with many different clubs. My first opportunity to come over and train with a European club was at the age of 14. I started coming over for trials on my own at 16 and moved to Scotland to play at 17. I have lost track of the amount of times I've come over to Europe. Looking back on it all now, it's hard to believe all that has happened in my life. It has been almost 10 years since I first got the chance to chase my dream and here I am still living it. </span></pre>

It's very difficult to be away from my family. Especially now with the newest addition to my family; my fiancé Laura. I love you Laura and miss you. Without your support, it wouldn't be possible to do what I do. Thank you for pushing me to be the best I can be and always believing in me. </span></pre>

This includes my extended family, former teammates, great friends and many others that I've been lucky enough to come across on my travels. </span></pre>

I've been so lucky to travel all around the world playing a game I love. Over time my determination to succeed has grown. I've never stopped trying to improve. I've continued working hard when nobody is watching. Im excited for another chance that has come my way; to continue living my dream.
Time to go and make you all proud. </span></pre>

Happy New Year!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My training program has continued to grow over the past couple of weeks. I have been putting in sessions twice a day almost everyday of the week and I’m feeling great going into the new year. I will try to make my next post about my weekly training regime.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I recently picked up a new pairs of boots and wanted to share some thoughts on them. I have always been a sneaker head and have acquired a big collection of boots over the years - all of which are Nike. I enjoy trying out all the different models and feel comfortable wearing any of the top line Nike boots at the moment. However my favourite pair of boots right now are the Nike Mercurial Vapor X. I have had a few pairs of this model and just got a pair in all black; which is my favourite colour way so far.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTn8PXq2eM9MYfHxSBXRcAjV1WusN6Iafk-EwwqhdAjImKWDaZO-LNBK_SSXGaGjSWGjHogHlK9kowhzOkjRUJhcPrgpC-8WikEgrKTCRD6QZa27yQZOvwy9AYDxLN9AH8yXeLkAxEZfc/s1600/IMG_0002.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTn8PXq2eM9MYfHxSBXRcAjV1WusN6Iafk-EwwqhdAjImKWDaZO-LNBK_SSXGaGjSWGjHogHlK9kowhzOkjRUJhcPrgpC-8WikEgrKTCRD6QZa27yQZOvwy9AYDxLN9AH8yXeLkAxEZfc/s1600/IMG_0002.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have always been a fan of the Nike Vapor boot line over the years and feel this may be the best model yet. You are able to wear them straight out of the box, without getting any blisters. They are extremely lightweight, but I feel they offer a good amount of protection. The upper is extremely thin and lightweight, giving you a good touch on the ball. The FG soleplate is ideal for artificial turf field or dry/damp natural grass pitches. Finally they are quite comfortable overall and seem to be quite durable.</div>

As always, I will continue trying out different boots and look forward to seeing what innovative products Nike will come out with next. But for now, this is my boot of choice.

As I continue building for the New Year, my training is ongoing on a daily basis. At the moment, I’m putting in sessions everyday; usually twice a day. In the coming weeks, I plan to write more about my daily experiences and how I go about preparing for the upcoming season.<br />
<br />
Yesterday I trained twice. In the morning I worked on some finishing (check out the video above), which is always a very enjoyable thing to work on. Unfortunately my camera died during the session, but I still managed to get some clips for the video. In the afternoon, I was doing some strength training in the gym. I love training and trying to find new ways to make myself a better player. There are so many different things to do, which is part of what makes it fun and exciting for me.<br />
<br />
Keep watching the blog for more posts on my training regime and hopefully more videos soon. I will also try to post some other posts on some new things, including some boot reviews, etc. I have been so busy this fall between my personal life, my own training and coaching, it has been hard to keep up with writing on here - but I plan to change that starting now!<br />
<br />
By the way, hard to believe this is my 100th Blog Post on this site. I started this blog what seems like a lifetime ago. I believe I started writing regularly around 4.5 years ago, in my first season in Norway. It’s crazy how time flies! Thank you to all who have continued to follow me on my adventures over the years. It is very interesting to see that there are readers from all around the world that check out the blog on a regular basis. As always, I would love to hear from you. Please feel free to leave comments on my posts and contact me through my email on the side. Thanks again and here’s to the next 100 posts!<br />

I think I’m well overdue for an update on here! It’s hard to
believe it’s been over 9 months since I last wrote on here. Saying things have
changed a lot since my last blog post would be an understatement.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
First of all I have a huge personal announcement! My life
completely changed this past spring, as I proposed to my incredible girlfriend
Laura on May 30<sup>th</sup>. So I’m very proud to say we are now engaged and
will be getting married this upcoming summer! It was the best day of my life
without a doubt. I have never been happier and am so fortunate to have such an
amazing, supportive partner to share my life with.</div>

And now from where I left off from in my last blog post… I did have some great experiences training in Germany and
Austria. Another highlight was definitely seeing Bayern Munich play live.
However I decided to head home and pursue opportunities closer to home. I signed with USL PDL club Washington Crossfire, based near Seattle.
This meant over two hour commutes each way, from across the border in Canada to
get to training multiple times a week. This quite often meant leaving for
training around 4 PM and arriving home past Midnight that same night. I also
managed to hold a coaching job in BC at the same time and had to find a way to balance
the two different opportunities. It was challenging to say the least. However
it was good to get some games in.</div>

Following the season, Laura and I headed back to Europe for
a three-week trip around Scandinavia. It was nothing short of spectacular. We
flew out of Vancouver in early August on IcelandAir (my airline of choice). I
usually try to fly IcelandAir for multiple reasons and have had many layovers
in Reykjavik. However for the first time we arranged a stopover there, so we
could have a chance to check out outside of the airport. We absolutely loved
our two days in Reykjavik. It is a very special place! Some highlights included
visiting the world famous Blue Lagoon (geothermal hot springs) and walking
around the city centre. I would love to have the chance to explore outside of
the city one day. Hopefully next time ;)</div>

We then headed back to my old stomping grounds in Oslo. I
love Oslo. It has always been a special place to me, ever since my first visit
there as a five-year-old. It had been exactly two years since I was last living/playing there. It was a pretty crazy feeling to come back with my fiancé. Things in my
life now are so different to when I was living there. It was amazing showing
Laura around the city, discovering new places and showing her around my old
favorite spots. I returned to one of my old club’s Kjelsås to do some training while in Oslo. It was nice to see some of the guys and they were definitely surprised to see me again! </div>

After a few days in Oslo, it was time to head to Stockholm
for our first visit there. We hopped on the train (for an incredibly cheap
price) and made our way to Sweden. Sotckholm was very different to Oslo. We
loved exploring Gamla Stan (old town) and biking around the waterfront near the
city centre. </div>

<o:p> </o:p>From Stockholm we headed back to Norway (via two trains) and
arrived in Trondheim (further North) to stay with my family on their farm
there. It was great to see my relatives there. Without them, I never would have
ended up living or playing in Norway. I’m going way back in time here, but the
background story is, in 2010 I first came to Norway to play after looking for a
change from playing in the UK. I got in touch with my relatives at the end of
my English season to see if I could come stay with them while trying out for
some clubs for a few weeks. They helped me to call multiple clubs and set up
trials before I signed with FK Bodø/Glimt in Northern Norway. It was so good to
see them again, I feel like I’m staying at my home away from home when I’m with
them. I’m very thankful for all they have done for me in my life. I had another training stint set up with local club Stjørdals/Blink while staying there. After a few
days staying with them, we then headed North to Bodø.</div>

It was time to jump on another long train ride and head North
of the Arctic Circle. Looking back on it now I have to admit I was a very brave
19-year-old when I did this the first time. I remember my relative Håkon,
calling Bodø/Glimt’s coach to see if I could come for a trial. We were sitting
in the living room and he was speaking Norwegian to him of course. I had no
idea what he was saying and when he got off the phone I was surprised that the
coach invited me to come up for a trial. That night I booked a flight for the
next day and I headed off to some town in Northern Norway, that I had never
heard of and knew nobody in. I couldn’t be happier that I got on that flight.
In all my years playing, that year has been my favorite. It was an honor to
play for a huge club like Bodø/Glimt and I made some lifelong friends there. It
feels special everytime I go back and I was thrilled to get to show Laura
around there. It was great to see some of my old teammates there and I also had a chance to go and train with Bodø/Glimt for two days while I was there. Stepping out on the stadium field again was a very cool feeling. </div>

Finally we headed back to Oslo for a final couple of days
before heading back home to Vancouver. Overall it was an incredible trip and we
can’t wait to head back. I’m excited to continue following my dreams playing the game I love and
even more excited that I now have someone special to share those dreams with. I’m
not going to say much now, but I will be pursuing more playing opportunities in
2015. For now, it’s all about preparation as I train daily to get myself ready
for what’s to come. I’m thankful for all the last 9 months have brought in my
life and I can’t wait to see what the future brings. Between a wedding, future
travels and playing opportunities, it is bound to be the most exciting year of my life. </div>

I had the chance yesterday to experience a Bayern Munich game at the Allianz Arena. After watching countless games at this arena on TV, it was unbelievable to see a game live here. Bayern dominated the entire game and we had the chance to see some great goals. The ability of the players was phenomenal. All the little things they do is something else; their first touch, the movement of the ball and passing combinations. The game finished 4-0 for Bayern over Freiburg. The atmosphere inside was also something else. The fans are so passionate, it was so loud inside that it was hard to hear the people talking beside us. I have been fortunate enough to witness some great games in Europe during my life. I've seen Manchester United play at Old Trafford, AC Milan play at the San Siro, Celtic Vs Rangers in the Old Firm Derby and quite a few more; but this definitely ranks up there as one of the best I've seen. Such a great day and experience! </div>

Today I had the opportunity to go into the nearby town of Innsbruck and I was very impressed. It's a very beautiful city and you can see why it has such a good reputation. It was about a 20 minute drive from Schwaz to Innsbruck, so not far at all. One of the players was nice enough to take my roommate Raq and I in for the day to see the city centre and also drive up the mountain for a view of the whole city. The view definitely didn't disappoint, as we could see everything in the city. Innsbruck has hosted the Olympics twice and you can see the Ski jump along with other Olympic monuments. We were able to see the famous Golden Roof in old town and all the other famous sites around the city centre. I definitely hope to get a chance to go back again soon and explore the city some more. For now I hope you enjoy my pictures!</div>

This is a beautiful city and a great place to be. Schwaz is a small town quite close to the German border and not far from Innsbruck. I don't think there are many more than 15,000 people living here. The football has been good so far. The standard is very high and there are many talented players in the squad. I have enjoyed the intensity of the training sessions and the coaching is very good. I have trained everyday this week and enjoyed my time so far. I'm joined here by another Canadian, Raq, who I have played with in the past at home in Vancouver. It's definitely nice to have a familiar face around. I have to admit it's pretty funny walking around town here, as we get quite a few strange looks. I think with this being a small town, everybody knows everyone and it is obvious when someone new is walking around town. As we were walking to the mall today between training sessions, we noticed a car go by and the people inside looking at us. As we turned the corner the same people were approaching us and started speaking German to us. I responded that we only spoke English and they stated they were with the police and asked to see our ID's. We were both pretty taken back by this and as we pulled out our ID's, they asked what we were doing here in Schwaz. As soon as we explained we were here training with the local team, they said OK and sent us on our way. Very strange experience to say the least... But it definitely confirmed to us that we stand out here. Tomorrow is a day off and we will be heading into Innsbruck (the closest large city) to check it out. I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what the city has to offer. It will also be nice to give my legs a rest after a lot of training sessions this week. Overall it has been a good week in Austria and I only have good things to say. Hope you enjoy a couple pictures and videos I've taken so far. It's difficult to hear me talking on the videos as it was super windy when I took them... But anyways, you get an idea of what it looks like here. Enjoy!<br />

<br />
I've made it safely across the border to my hotel in Austria. It is very beautiful here, the town is very picturesque. It is a small town surrounded by snow covered mountains on either side. The winding streets are layered upon various hills in the city. The streets are made of cobblestone and surrounded with very old architecture; its obvious there's so much history here. I will certainly post more photos later. Tonight for dinner was my first time trying wiener schnitzel. It was very good! The hotel I'm staying at is very comfortable. I haven't had a good chance to explore the city yet, as it is Sunday and everything is closed. However I'm sure I will find some time during the week.<br />
<br />
My first week back in Europe has been a good one. I really liked it in Germany and could end up back there still after this week. I'm just taking it one day at a time and seeing what happens. I was able to explore Munich another time yesterday and see much more of the city the second time around. Germany is what I expected it to be. The people are very friendly, direct and organized. Things must be done the way they are set out to be. Driving on the autobahn to training everyday at crazy speeds, was quite an experience. It feels like you are going fast, until a car goes flying by you at 200 km/h!<br />
<br />
One of the stranger experiences here for me happened as soon as I arrived. I walked off the plane half asleep and while waiting for my bags at the airport, I stepped into the men's washroom to find a lady standing just inside. Thinking it was closed for cleaning or something, I was about to walk away, until another guy walked by me. I noticed the bathroom was definitely not closed and she was working in there. She was cleaning and some people were giving her money. After asking someone later on, I found out this is normal here; but it seemed very strange in the moment.<br />
<br />
Many people here smoke and cigarettes are readily available from vending machines around town. I'm sure there is a legal age for smoking, but it wouldn't be hard for someone underage to get their hands on some cigarettes. When I was in downtown Munich, I went into a video store to try and find some DVDs to entertain me during my off-time. I went to purchase the TV show "Lost" and to my surprise as I was paying, I was asked to show my ID if I wanted to buy the movie. Seemed pretty weird to me that they were more concerned about people buying a DVD, than cigarettes. I know that it wouldn't be hard for anyone under age to walk into a pub and get a beer. I have regularly seen people walking around the streets with a beer in hand. Something you don't see at home...<br />
<br />
The culture is certainly different here, but I have to say that everyone I have met so far has been very welcoming. Anyone from random people on the street, to the players I trained with, have been really nice and excited to hear more about Canada. Being abroad and telling people you're Canadian is a great feeling. Definitely something to be proud of. All that people usually have to say are positive things. It's pretty cool that everybody either has, or wants to come visit where you come from.<br />
<br />
Now that I'm in Austria, I'm excited to see what everything is like. I won't be able to form my opinion in less than a day, but hopefully this week will give me a good chance to see many different things. I can't wait to start training with a new club tomorrow. This is my first time ever in Austria and so far everything looks pretty incredible. I feel so fortunate to have the opportunity to travel to another country through my soccer. Playing the game I love has taken me all around the world and allowed me to experience things I never thought possible.<br />

<br />
I have arrived safely in Germany and day number 7 of the trip is coming to an end. All is well so far and I'm enjoying my time here... Let's rewind a bit and start from the beginning.<br />

I left home in White Rock last Saturday and started the journey with a drive down I-5 to SeaTac Airport. It was a tearful goodbye at security, as I left my girlfriend and parents. Sitting at the departure gate, I was excited to get going but also sad to be leaving behind my loved ones. It was certainly a day of mixed emotions. After boarding the plane, we were informed that the entertainment system was out of commission. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, as my laptop is ready to go; but unfortunately my laptop battery also decided to die. It made for a long 7.5 hour flight to Reykjavik, Iceland. I have never been the best sleeper on planes, and as this flight left in the afternoon, that didn't change. I managed to get maybe 30 minutes of sleep. Upon arriving in Reykjavik, I realized as we touched down that I only had 20 minutes until my flight to Munich was leaving. As I frantically got off the plane, I looked for my gate on the screen and it read "Last Call". Somehow I managed to make it there just in time. I got on the plane and we were up in the air again before I knew it. It actually worked out quite well. From Reykjavik it was a 3.5 hour flight to Munich. I arrived Sunday around noon.<br />

I have trained everyday this week since arriving. My first session was on Monday and I definitely had very heavy legs and was feeling the jet lag. It was just a technique session. These first days after travelling are always tough to get through, but I find I always feel much better the next day. Tuesday was my first chance to train with a team here in Munich. The level was very good and I was impressed with the individual ability of the players. Every single player is very good technically. So comfortable on the ball and they know how to play the right way. The training sessions are run very efficiently. As it is "pre-season" right now for the clubs over here, there is a huge emphasis on technique and fitness. I like the way the coaches incorporate both of these into the training sessions. We are usually split up into separate groups and will go and work on different aspects of training at separate times and then switch stations. This makes for much more touches on the ball and makes the overall sessions much more effective. I have trained everyday this week and felt better every single day. My sleeping pattern was kind of all over the place during the first couple of days. It's starting to get back to normal now, which is helping for sure. I feel very comfortable with the level here. I like the way that they play and have enjoyed the training sessions so far.<br />

During my time off, I have been mostly relaxing. I'm staying in a small town about 30 minutes from downtown Munich. I had a chance to check out the city yesterday and have a quick walk around. It seems like a very interesting place. Germany seems different to anywhere else I have played. I'm looking forward to having more of a chance to check it out.<br />

The first week is always a tough one. I would be lying if I said I didn't miss home. I miss my incredibly supportive girlfriend and parents. I have been speaking to everyone back home regularly. Luckily there is FaceTime and iMessage. Although it's hard, I came here with a purpose and goals to achieve. Without support from everyone back home, I don't know if I could do this. Between missing loved ones, jet lag, being in a foreign environment and playing surrounded by a language you don't understand, among other factors; it is never easy. But I've been through this so many times before, that I feel accustomed to it now.<br />

Now that week one is in the books, I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next week. I feel very good physically, after training everyday this week. The training I've done with the club in Munich has been very helpful to help me prepare for what comes next. Next week I will be heading to Austria to train with a different team. I'm excited for the opportunity and looking forward to seeing how it goes. I've never been to Austria before, so it should be interesting to check out another European country on and off the field! <br />

To everyone back home, I miss you and appreciate the support more than you'll ever know. Expect another update soon. I have taken so many photos already, so look for many more to come on here. <br />

2014 - a new year, a new challenge. I will be heading to
Germany on February 1<sup>st</sup> to train with some clubs. I’m looking
forward to the opportunity and very excited to be returning to Europe. I last
played in Europe during the 2012 season, after spending last season in North
America. I have definitely missed all that comes with playing in
Europe. The level of play, professionalism of the clubs, and the culture that
surrounds the game over there are on a completely different level to North
America. It has been a goal and dream of mine to play in Germany for a long
time now. I hope to have success on the field and sign for a club for the
remainder of the season once I arrive. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Since returning from Florida this fall, I have been on the
soccer field pretty much 7 days a week. I have been coaching full-time in the
greater Vancouver area. I love coaching and have been very fortunate to have
some great opportunities to work with young players while I’ve been home during
my off-seasons the past couple of years. I also attended the US Soccer National
Youth License Coaching Course in Seattle last month. It is my plan to continue
working through my various coaching licenses while still playing. I have been
training hard individually. I have been working with a personal trainer weekly
and I’m happy with the results I have been achieving. It has been great to
spend time at home with my family and take time to enjoy the holidays. Now with
less than a month until I depart on this new adventure, I will be looking to
take my training to the next level and really push myself to be in the best
condition possible for next month. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Although I haven’t updated the blog much lately, I will be
looking to do much more regular updates when I get back to Europe. I hope that
you will follow me on my latest travels. <o:p></o:p></div>

The regular season came to an end last night, as we beat VSI Tampa Bay FC 2-1. It was a good night for me, as I scored in the first half to put us up 1-0. Tampa levelled the game just before half-time, which set up a nervy second half. We scored the winner in the 88' minute, with a good finish from Jack Bailey. Going into last night's game we already knew that we had reached the Conference playoffs. However we needed a win to put pressure on Panama City Beach, who are behind us by one point, with a game in hand. Panama plays their final game on Sunday against VSI Tampa Bay and if they lose or tie, we will be division champions; which also gives us a higher seed going into the playoffs. So we will watch that game on Sunday with interest. Either way, we will be travelling to Austin, Texas for the Conference Playoffs next week. Having played 3 games in the past 6 days to finish off the season we are having a much deserved break, with a couple of days off. It's hard to believe the regular season has already come to an end. We've played 14 league games in the PDL and the time here has flown by. I'm looking forward to some rest and recovery over the next couple of days, and to what lies ahead for us in the playoffs. </div>

As well as enjoying my time on the field in Florida, things off the field have also been great. I'm very lucky to be surrounded by a great group of guys as my teammates on this team. There aren't very many locally based players, the roster contains players from all around the world; Scotland, England, Brazil, Zimbabwe, Columbia, USA and Canada. All the players come from different backgrounds and bring something unique to the team on and off the field, making for a great mix. The out of town players live together in an apartment complex close to our home stadium. We have three separate houses in the complex, side by side. As I'm sure you can imagine there is always a lot going on. Most of our time when not training is spent relaxing and recovering. There's also a lot of FIFA being played in the house regularly, which gets pretty competitive. We have two swimming pools, so we also spend a lot of time hanging out there. It gets pretty hot in Florida at this time of year, which has been one of the biggest adjustments for me playing here. To go from playing North of the Arctic Circle in Norway, to the extreme heat of Florida, has been tough. But I'm getting more and more used to it everyday. We have run one soccer summer camp for kids so far this season and the second week of camps start tomorrow. The camps are a unique way to get to know the kids in the community and pass on our knowledge to kids looking to improve their game. One of the most enjoyable days in Florida so far, was a few weeks back when we had the chance to go to the owner of the clubs lake house. We spent time on the boats, tubing and jet skiing, all day. Overall its been a great summer in Florida so far and fantastic experience all around. I'm looking forward to seeing what the rest of the summer brings. </div>

Things in Ocala are going well at the moment. We've passed the halfway mark in the season after a tough stretch of away games and a total of four games in the past nine days. We currently sit top of the Southeast Division in the PDL, with six games remaining in the regular season. There is still a lot of work to be done, but things are looking positive going into the final six games. Our next game is against second place team Orlando City U23's, which is a massive game for us. We only have one more away game remaining this year, which is always helpful. Luckily for us, we were able to get our toughest away games out of the way early in the season. After a tough nine days filled with games, we've been enjoying having the day completely off today and will also have the day off training tomorrow. </div>

I have transferred to a new club in the USL PDL, called the Ocala Stampede. The club plays in the SouthEast Division of the league and are based in Florida. I've been in Florida for around four weeks now and have been really enjoying life at my new club. It's a great set up at the club. Things are very professionally run here on and off the field. It's a great group of guys and the coaching staff are fantastic. On the field things have gotten off to a good start for the team. We started the season with four straight away games and won three of the four games. We opened the season against VSI Tampa Bay FC, and unfortunately lost 2-0. Having dominated the game throughout, this was a disappointing result for us. We knew that we had to let it go and move on to the next one. Following this game we played at IMG Academy and came away with a 1-0 win, a great result on the road! For me it was a great day, as I scored the winner in the 89th minute (see photos below). I was named to the USL PDL "Team of the Week" following the game, which was a big honour and proud moment for me. It's always nice to be recognized for your hard work on the field. I think that it was a really important win for the team, to give us some momentum going into the next away games. </div>

<span style="text-align: left;">We then had the longest road trip of the season, a gruelling trip to Mississippi. We left last Thursday morning at 4am, and arrived almost 14 hours later in Clinton, Mississippi. After a light training session Thursday night, we played the Mississippi Brilla on Friday night in their home opener. We ended up winning the game 4-0, which was a fantastic result for the team. I scored my second goal of the season off of a header just before half time. Following the game we started our trip back towards Florida, however the road trip was far from finished. We had one more game against Panama City Beach Pirates on Sunday night. The team was definitely feeling tired going into this game, after a tough game Friday night and many hours of driving over the past couple of days. We came out and battled for 90 minutes again and came away with another win; 2-0 this time. After the game, we were straight back on the bus again and finally heading for home. There were some celebrations on the bus for a bit, before most of the players fell asleep for the night. We arrived home at around 6 am and went straight back to bed. We all had a much deserved day off, which I'm sure the majority of the guys spent sleeping all day. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: left;">Another highlight of the season so far was our time in the US Open Cup. In the first round of the competition we played away to Red Force FC in Miami and won the match 4-2. Unfortunately for me I wasn't eligible to play in this game as my paperwork hadn't gone through in time. In the second round we drew USL-Pro club Orlando City SC at home. It was always going to be a tough game to play the top team in the USL-Pro (one division above us) but we played a great game, narrowly losing out 2-1. Our fans for this game were fantastic and it was a great experience for the team, even though we came up short. </span></div>

We were supposed to have our home opener for the league tonight, but it was called off due to a bad storm. Depending on when that game is rescheduled for, it looks like our next league game is most likely next Friday back on the road again. So far life in Florida has been great, on and off the field. I'm having a good time here and I'm really happy with my current situation. I'm looking forward to what the rest of the season brings. I'll write another blog post soon about life off the field here and what we get up to in our spare time, as well as keeping you all updated on the latest on the pitch. </div>

Pre-season has come to an end and its time for the regular season to start. We are currently in Victoria and open up the season against the Victoria Highlanders. Pre-season went by very quickly. Lots of hard work from all the players and some good results. We went undefeated throughout pre-season, so hopefully we can keep that going. Personally, I have been happy with my performances and scored a few goals in the games I played in. We are looking to start out the season on a good note and come away from Victoria with 3 points.<br />
