Voyageurs International Player of the Year 2009 (click on picture for article)

2010 has started off with an exciting bang for me. First this honor which was such a pleasant surprise. It has always been such an honor for me to play for my country and represent Canada every time I step on the field and to be recognized like this is such a pleasure.

This past week I had my last set of sessions in New Jersey before my big move to California and coaching the High School and college kids have made me realize how I truly love giving back to the game I love so much. Seeing how my experience can affect these goalkeepers inspires me to wanting to be a better coach and student of the position.

I’ve also been asked to emcee the PUMA uniform unveiling event at the NSCAA convention this weekend in Philly. The actual show will be Friday night at TRUST and I am excited about this new challenge. Earlier in the day,starting at 10am will be the Women’s Pro Soccer Draft and I have been asked to do interviews with the first round picks. It should be fun and I know an exciting time for the girls waiting to know where their future stands as I am sure Friday cannot come soon enough. This year I await many new journeys and it has already started on a great note. I cannot wait to see what else is in store for myself, Canada soccer and the LA SOL.

Thanks for checking in and may this year be your year.
