They return to the East Coast still searching for their first-ever win in club history. But Wednesday’s matchup
Vancouver FC is in flux. Ownership says the club is re-calibrating following mixed results across their first few seasons. And there’s little doubt the fledgling club, which rushed to join the Canadian Premier League (CPL) in 2023 at the league’s request, has had its fair share of challenges.
The Halifax Tides returned to the Wanderers Grounds on Saturday and, aside from a fantastic volley from Colby Barnett which proved enough to give AFC Toronto a 1-0 win, are a much more defensively compact side than the one that debuted on April 26. Head coach Lewis Page, speaking to

"These are not your 2024 Halifax Wanderers!" These words, exclaimed by OneSoccer's Adam Jenkins following midfielder Vitor Dias' 90th minute winner versus Valour FC on Friday, highlight what head coach Patrice Gheisar and the Wanderers have worked hard to prove since the off-season: this is
Wanderers
It was a familiar situation — leading 2-1 and with time trickling away — against a formidable foe in Pacific FC, a script, if one were to re-visit past iterations, where the Halifax Wanderers were destined to play the tragic hero. It is a role they reprised again and again in 2024,
