Toronto Arrows News Release
QUINCY, MA - Toronto Arrows Academy Director and Head Coach Cory Hector has named his starting lineup for Saturday's academy clash with the New England Free Jacks.
The season-opening squad features representation from 13 different Canadian post-secondary institutions and 19 different Canadian grassroots clubs.
Sam Mace - one of five senior Arrows named to the lineup - will captain the young side, with fellow senior player Mitch Voralek deputizing.
Tomorrow's match, played at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Quincy, MA, precedes the clash between the Toronto and New England senior sides, and will kick off at 12 p.m. The game will not be streamed, however fans can follow along with updates shared via the Toronto Arrows Senior Academy's Twitter channel @ArrowsSrAcademy.
Starting prop Marc-Antoine Ouellet will only participate in the first half of the Academy match, as the Quebec native has also been named as a senior team substitute later on in the day.
The Academy's 2022 campaign kicked off in early February, with under-18 to under-23 athletes training regularly at two regional sites in Ontario (Guelph, Kingston) and one in Quebec (Montreal).
