When the storm was approaching did you think that would have made a difference?
What does it say about the play of the guys that you'd hold accountable?


Pacific FC defender Thomas Meilleur-Giguere

post game questions for Thomas Meilleur-Giguere (start at 9 minutes, 35 seconds)
Your thoughts on the team performance and what could you have done better today?
What happened on giving up the second goal?
Why wasn't the momentum going your way and set up plays were going nowhere?
Are you extra protective of your third string goalie?


York United FC defender Frank Sturing

post game audio of Frank Sturing and Benjamin Mora (21 minutes 20 seconds)

Questions for Frank Sturing:
Your thoughts on the effort tonight?
How important is it to be winning at home this season?
How was it that the team looked to you defenders in the second half to save the game?
What have you thought about the formation changes that Benjamin Mora has brought in?
What did you think of the defensive work of forward Brian Wright coming back to help out?
What does it say about the relationships you're building up with so many guys coming in at defence and your new coach?


York United FC head coach Benjamin Mora

Questions for Benjamin Mora start at 4 minutes, 55 seconds
How proud are you of the group today going down to ten men and still earning the three points?
What was the idea about bringing in forward Mo Babouli at the start of the second half rather than a defender?
How much will it change the dynamic with you getting more players back every week?
What is your thinking on having Elijah Adekugbe playing farther back as a defender/midfielder?
How does it feel to have two wins in a row?
Were you making a statement last week by beating Ottawa away?
What were you thinking those last 15 minutes with the rain starting and Pacific coming even further forward?
What did you put in the calculated substitutions and the midfield set up?
Does having your family in town make tonight's victory a little sweeter?
A question in Spanish.
One of the co-owners said at the start of the year he thought you had the best roster in the league. Now that you've
been here three games and beat the first place team and now the second place team, do you think you have the best
roster in the league?
Are we seeing your handwriting on the team already?
What about this win makes it so sweet for you?

Special one-day signing Joseph (age 7) at a pregame press conference

His answers were all 'yes' and 'no' and head nods.

He carried the game ball onto the field.

Thanks to the club and staff of the North York General Hospital for setting this up.
