Inaugural Halifax Tides head coach Lewis Page has been set aside with the club announcing Stephen Hart, former Canadian Men's National Team (CanMNT) and Wanderers gaffer, as interim head coach on Monday. Page, who led the Tides to a 1-6-1 record, has been tasked with establishing the club&
8 CPL Thoughts
It's been a while, CPL fans. There's more football than ever to write about and somehow Halifax has seemed at the centre of a lot of it between the Tides, Wanderers and a recent visit from the Canadian Men's National Team. It's
"We're not packing up our bags and going home yet." These were the words uttered by Halifax Tides head coach Lewis Page following his club's 3-1 loss to AFC Toronto on Saturday. If you detect a hint of defiance, you'd be right:
Wanderers
Good clubs find a way to win and the Halifax Wanderers, despite not playing their best match, found a way on Saturday to beat Vancouver FC 1-0. It was not their finest hour. But it can't go unnoticed that head coach Patrice Gheisar's squad seem to
Wanderers
Adam Pearlman's first visit to the Wanderers Grounds was as a member of the opposition. Back in 2022, as a player for Toronto FC, he flew to Nova Scotia for the MLS side's Canadian Championship quarter final matchup versus the Wanderers. Only 17-years old at the
The story at halftime was one Tides fans had seen before: their club was trailing, having conceding off a set piece, under pressure, and the weather was positively miserable.

CanMNT
The kids, who had been a flurry of Cruyff turns and dabber dribbling moments before, have gone still. There is a moment — like a sailboat trapped in irons — where the BMO Soccer Centre seems bereft of all activity: local hero Jacob Shaffelburg's arrival is imminent. The anticipation is
CanMNT
Whether it was long-time stalwart Stephen Eustáquio, Tani Oluwaseyi, or local hero Jacob Shaffelburg, the Canadian Men's National Team (CanMNT) felt extremely welcome in Halifax this week as the program visited the city for the first time in its history. With the inaugural Canadian Shield Tournament slated to
It'd be easy to point to Thomas Meilleur-Giguère's header or Tiago Coimbra's penalty, to draw a circle around Atlético Ottawa's meagre attempts on net or the Wanderers' clean sheet and proclaim: this is the story. These are, of course, the simple
Tides
Milly Clegg and Anika Tóth will be away from the Halifax Tides as both were called up for international duty. Clegg, 19, is considered a rising star for New Zealand. She debuted for her country in 2023 and played in the FIFA Women's World Cup as New Zealand&
