The 2^nd Annual Trent Girls Showcase Tournament drew much praise from both participants, coaches, and the University/College coaches attending for a well run event with great competition and excellent officiating.

 

The focus of the tournament was to showcase elite U16 and U17 players to Canadian University and College coaches. A highlight of the weekend was the panel discussion on recruitment and the benefits of remaining in Canada to play University soccer. Dave McDowell (Queen’s -OUA), Garth Gittens (Algonquin - OCAA), and Ness Timmons (Cape Breton - AUS) participated in a lively session on the topic.

 

Saturday’s games were live streamed on SSN Canada (ssncanada.ca) and will be posted shortly on the Trent website. The winner of the Green Division was Aurora Stingers who tied with Erin Mills B with a record of 2 wins and a tie, but won on goal differential. The Winner of the White Division was Lincoln Storm. Coaches from ten different colleges and universities (Algonquin, Brock, Cape Breton, Carleton, Durham, Nipissiing, Laurentian, Queen’s, SSFC, Trent) were in attendance to scout for 2012 and 2013 graduating players.
