For the 2024 cards, I've been playing around with the design quite a bit.

I'm not satisfied yet, as there's zero reason for yellow to continue to be on the card.

My kids have switched from #GSSC to Ottawa Internationals, so the old colour scheme doesn't apply anymore.

Officially, I have my little ones enrolled in indoor #soccer for the fall.

I chose to register with a different group, #SudburniaSC, because it's $250 per kid, Sunday mornings, and runs mid-October through March.

#GSSC charges $250 & $350, for 1/2 weekday evenings (respectively), mid-October through December 18th. The exact days/times are not yet known.

Financially, it just makes sense to make the switch at this point.

Full-time at James Jerome.

#GSSC 1 - 1 Olympic Flame

It was a pretty good match overall. Loved watching these young lads compete. There's lots of room for them to grow, but you can definitely see potential from some of these players.

Goal!

Olympic flame have tied things up against #GSSC.

Still a very close match with only a couple minutes remaining.

#GSSC take the lead over Olympic Flame!

Impact keeper has been doing a lot of work out there though. Gonna be tight!

Scoreless at the half as #GSSC take on Olympic Flame in TOSL U16 (M).

It was a scrappy first half and a couple of players may have thought they were playing hockey instead of #soccer.

Looking forward to more play!

My spouse kicked me out of the house for a couple hours so she could set stuff up for a birthday dinner.

I don't mind at all since it means I get to watch #GSSC's U16 (m) team compete in a T O. Soccer League match on the grass field at James Jerome.

Some of these lads might be playing for #SudburyCyclones in #L2O or #L1OChampionship in a couple years.

Additionally, it appears that neither Sault Ste Marie nor Timmins have any traveling competitive teams. This will make things a bit easier as I won't need to add fixtures for their sides.

As a result, expect the Sault & Timmins pages to resemble the youth-team pages of TB Chill (basically just some rosters), while the NDSC Lakers will look more like #GSSC & the TB Chill USL2 page (rosters & schedules).

While it'll likely be too late for the 2023 season, this lays the groundwork for 2024.

SR.Gray @[email protected] · 2023-07-16 · 19:48 UTC

Oddly enough, it doesn't look like Nipissing has any male competitive teams below the U16 level, with their next level male team being at the pre-competitive U12/U13/U14 grassroots.

Hopefully, they'll be able to add one into HDSL next year to go up against #GSSC.

Made some big updates on Crater's Edge.

I got all the players transferred to the new SportsPress Plugin, plus all the schedules/scores for #GSSC, including Ontario Soccer League, Ontario Women's Soccer League, T.O. Soccer League Men's U18, U17, U16, U15, Huronia District Soccer League Men's U15, T.O. Soccer League Women's U16, U14, and HDSL Women's U15.

The Thunder Bay Chill USL2 schedule/scores are also now on site & up to date.

The rest of TB Chill & Nipissing might just get updated tmw.

Looks like the automatic post to Mastodon from Crater's Edge ( @topuser ) doesn't work with #Divi posts/pages.

I just quickly threw up a post about the #L1O information session on the site.

Hit the beach the last two days. I got exceptionally burnt and can now cheer on #CXNT, #AtleticoOttawa , and #GSSC without wearing a jersey...

Shoppers is about to sell out of Aloe.

It was my kids' first session with #GSSC today. They were both really excited to get out there and learn some #soccer skills.

Lots of running around and basic agility stuff today, so I was helping the kids keep the drills straight. Both of my littles are now looking forward to doing the drills with the cones, hurdles, and agility ladder on the weekend.

It's definitely a much better reaction to playing on the field this year than last.

Made a few updates at Crater's Edge:

Ontario Soccer League (#OSL) schedule for #GSSC has been added.

Ontario Women's Soccer League (#OWSL) schedule for GSSC has been added.

T.O. Soccer League (#TOSL) schedule & roster for GSSC U18B has been added.

Feel free to check it out: https://cratersedge.ca

Planning to spend the rest of the day outside with my youngest, so that's all the updates on the site for today.

Follow up:

They wouldn't provide many details, but it's basically a scouting type agreement. Some high caliber #GSSC players will get the chance to get out with #VaughanSC 's #OPDL squads.

Their words:

"There will not be a gssc opdl team. But it does allow playing opportunities for GSSC players via Vaughan SC ⚽️"

Whether thats just this year, or for foreseeable future, no word. Very likely, they're removing OPDL & L2O them from the team's roadmap.

Oh well, it's #BetterThanNothing

SR.Gray @[email protected] · 2023-05-11 · 17:12 UTC

#GSSC Technical Director Giuseppe Politi has secured an OPDL player affiliation agreement with #VaughanSC.

I've asked for more details. The GSSC master plan had the club with its own OPDL squad (and eventually #L1O via #L2O).

Hopefully, I can update soon.

Well, deadlines have come and gone. It looks like I won't be playing #soccer this summer.

The #SRCSL teams aren't interested in a 40-year-old rookie, even though I lost 50 lbs and am probably in the best shape I've ever been.

As for the #GSSC co-ed league, I asked around, and the average age is about 24... Too big a gap for me to enjoy playing & make local friends around my age.

I guess I'll have to content myself with the kids' games & watching #AtleticoOttawa.

SR.Gray @[email protected] · 2023-05-02 · 18:18 UTC

Free time has been hard to come by lately, but I finally added more #soccer players to the #CratersEdge Northern Ontario Soccer Players database.

The first six transfers of 2023 were also added, thanks to the Greater Sudbury Soccer Club (#GSSC), with some of their players signing on with local university/college teams: Laurentian Voyageurs (M & F) and Cambrian Golden Shield (M & F).

Site is still super rough, but you're free to enjoy: https://cratersedge.ca/

SR.Gray @[email protected] · 2023-04-12 · 01:27 UTC

The other game in town, Greater Sudbury Soccer Club (#GSSC), does have open enrolment in a co-ed league.

The catch is, I'm 40 and from the photos from last year, most of these folks are maybe 27. I want to play with folks my age and make some local friends with which to watch matches, which seems unlikely there.

The registration deadline is the same as it is for #SRCSL as well, so I'll have to pivot quickly if/when it becomes necessary.

Fingers crossed! Hopefully, I will find a squad.

Eventually, for my step routine, I want to upgrade the ankle weights all the way to 5 lbs, and the hand weights should be up as high as 7 lbs.

For April, I'm just hoping to go to 3 lbs Ankles in the first week or so, and 5 lbs dumbells by the end.

With some luck, I should be able to actually get outside by the end of the month and can start running & biking.

I'm really looking forward to my first season in the #SRCSL and to both my kids playing for #GSSC. I need to be fit enough to keep up!

#srcsl #gssc

SR.Gray @[email protected] · 2023-03-06 · 21:35 UTC

Just did a size-check on my kids' #soccer cleats & jerseys.

For cleats, my youngest has moved into 12-T, while my eldest progresses to 1-Y. I have a pair of 13-T (my eldest's previous) and 2-Y on hand just in case something changes.

My eldest's #GSSC jersey from last year still fits. His plain shirts from last year now fit my youngest, so they'll work until the new jerseys come in.

In contrast, my jerseys are all too big for me. I dropped over 20 lbs & built a lot of muscle since last season.
