UNBC men open schedule Friday night in Abbotsford against Fraser Valley Cascades

Once again, a program will be essential to find out who’s playing this season for UNBC Timberwolves men’s soccer team.Last year UNBC set the bar for playing time eaten up by first-year players and in a 15-game Canada West Conference season it added up to nearly 7,000 game-time minutes.

The new season starts Friday night in Abbotsford with the date with the Fraser Valley Cascades and the T-wolves are going to be young again. Twenty-one of the 27-player roster is either first- or second-year players. All-star goalie Daniel Zadravec graduated and is playing pro soccer in his native Victoria. Also gone is Gregor Smith, who leaves a hole on the wing and steady defender Julian Daduica.“It’s just a new-look group. We have a bunch of kids who played last year and got some experience and we’ve got some good young ones coming in. In terms of goals we’ll have to recreate them from a collection of players, not just one player .

Another Prince George product to likely to earn a key role in the starting lineup is six-foot-five defender Demian Dron, who suffered an ACL tear early last season that kept him sidelined the rest of the year. Colin Stauffer is another one to watch at midfield, playing in front of his home crowds at Masich Place Stadium.

“I’m really excited about the future of this group,” said Simonson. “We saw in preseason that we were really talented and prayed really well against Mount Royal but then we got beat over the head a little bit by Alberta and lost the physical and maturity battle against them.
