Men's Soccer
After a lackluster 2009 season, the Sea~Hawks came into the 2010 season with a new approach, exhibiting a strong sense of team, an air of confidence and a work ethic that showed a true commitment to winning. Finishing 6th in the conference with a 5-5-3 record, they narrowly missed the playoffs due to Moncton qualifying as the championship host team. Despite losing senior and team captain Andre Le, the Sea~Hawks have some key pieces returning and should emerge as a team bound for the playoffs.
Coach Scott Betts returns this season with a core group from last season, with the hope that veteran guys can emerge and help propel them into playoff contention once again. The Sea~Hawks leading scorer last season, Steven Delong looks great heading into camp and hopes to continue finding the back of the net. Antigonish native and rookie standout from last season, Alec Benson will return with the team after spending his summer training with his club team the Antigonish Islanders. Another key returning player is midfielder Matthew Hamlyn, who was on the shelf last season with an injury. Ryan Yetman also returns to the roster after a year off last season and Matthew Breen will likely have some confidence heading into the season after scoring game winning goal in the Challenge Cup final on Labour Day Weekend.
The backfield for the Sea~Hawks is looking strong once again this season and will be anchored by some key veterans. With players such as Chris Pope and Jeff Slaney returning, teams will be in tough when going up against the Sea~Hawks backline. With some fresh faces expected to crack the roster this year, look for Slaney and Pope to offer valuable leadership and experience throughout the season.
