Welcome to the Emerald City FC 92 White - Boys U-17 Soccer Team website. The team is coached by John Hamel, assisted by Patrick Scott and managed by Greg Proulx. Successfully competed at state P3 level last season, we're looking forward to an even better year (team placement dependent on new league structure.)  This website is intended for the use of players, coaches and parents of the team (check out schedules at bottom of this page.)  Kindly direct general inquiries regarding Emerald City Soccer to the Club website www.emeraldcityfc.org

Patrick and I were very pleased with the first outings of the team this past weekend. The team played hard, which is a must. They had a healthy fighting spirit, good energy around the ball, and a desire to win. We were able to create good scoring opportunities and showed creativity and hunger in the attack. Our team defense improved each game. We will continue to work on not giving the ball away unnecessarily, and on getting our defense to gel. We have some really good players to work with for that.

Patrick and I were also happy with the contributions our new players made. Our team is improved, and we have good depth in almost every position. Overall, this was a very successful weekend. The boys definitely showed they were one of the best teams there, and with some luck and a few less mistakes, they would have been in the final and certainly could have won it all.

Thanks, and Happy 4th of July!John
