1989 Canadian Soccer League--programs from North York Rockets (by Rocket Robin)
The club stopped printing new issues just past halfway during the year and instead just printed inserts of the game line ups and standings. Toronto Blizzard moved away from the downtown Varsity Stadium to Centennial Stadium in Etobicoke. I didn't drive back then so only made one game.
