Randy Edwini-Bonsu on Repp’ing Team Canada
Over his career, Randy earned 10 caps for Canada's senior national team, including a goal against Puerto Rico in 2015 and a spot on the 2013 Gold Cup squad. He first wore the badge at the 2009 CONCACAF U-20 Championship, tying for the tournament's top scorer with 3 goals.

Our U15 Wolves put together a strong performance and looked like the better team for most of the game. But in the final minutes, a few small mistakes and a loss of focus changed everything. After the match, Coach Luis used the moment to remind the boys that games can shift quickly, and that staying focused until the final whistle matters just as much as skill.
Coach Jacob is February's Free Play Coach of the Month! 🎉
