Feb 10th Appeal for Turf Shoes
on behalf of the Nunavut Soccer Association, Sanikiluaq, Nunavut
Local youth coaches Jay Da Costa & Gina Pacheco are heading to Nunavut from Feb 17-19 to run a soccer camp for 100 children aged 8-18, and PE classes at the local school. They are looking to collect & distribute indoor soccer shoes. The northern youth are extremely passionate about soccer and are in need of indoor soccer shoes. Many wear ill-fitted hand-me-downs, outdoor studded shoes and/or play in socks. Please consider dropping off your used or new indoor soccer shoes of all sizes – for both genders at the dome on February 10th (or during the following week in the Hornets Clubhouse). For more information, please contact Jay at

B Shield Format - With 10 teams, the B Shield has a twist!
Week 1: All 10 teams play the opponent determined by an open draw.
Week 2: Among the 5 winners, a 2nd draw takes place to determine the 4 semi-finalists. One team will be an "unlucky winner" & elminated from the Shield (Man City, anyone?). This is required to give all teams a chance to compete for the Shield in the allocated 3 weeks and definitely adds another element of unpredictability to the competition!
Week 3: Winners play in the Finals at 9:00 on Field #1.
A Shield Format - With 6 teams
Week 1: The top 2 teams in the standings advance to the semifinals directly. The other 4 teams play the opponent determined by an open draw.
Week 2: Winners of the 2 games in week 1 and the 2 "bye" teams are drawn to determine the semi-final pairings
Week 3: Winners play in the Finals at 8:00 on Field #1.
Of course, we will still have lots of other soccer "friendlies" going-on for the teams not competing directly for the Shield.
Good luck to all teams! We look forward to amazing soccer, as well as great sportsmanship, during this year's GGSL Shield! |

Gunners Kelby Shaw Has Man U Tryout End in Disappointment |
|
|
|
|
Kelby "Kez" Shaw of the GGSL Gunners gave it all he had, but in the end earning a place on one of the world's most fabled teams proved to be too much. Earlier this year when the EPL's Manchester United made a habit of giving up late goals, Manager Jose Mourinho expressed interest in the GGSL shutdown defender who flew to Manchester for the holidays. Unfortunately for Shaw, much improved results by the Red Devils killed his chances of earning a spot. "No, he will not be on the squad." declared Mourinho at his weekly press conference. "His quality is undeniable, I repeat, undeniable, but when we win and everyone plays well, I repeat, everyone plays well, how I tell Smalling or Blind they must sit?" The above photos (L to R) taken before his childhood dream of playing for United was crushed, show a smiling Shaw posing in the Man U dressing room with his #23 jersey, and in front of the stands at Old Trafford. |
