The Halifax Tides have continued to bolster their roster, inking Québec-native Julianne Vallerand to a contract. Vallerand, 23, joins the Tides following a stint with Spokane Zephyr FC.

The Bayeux Tapestry is 70 meters long and 70 centimetres wide and famously depicts the Norman conquest of England. There are dozens of striking images, tales of another time, depicted in its colourful and storied wools. It is considered the world's most famous medieval embroidery. But focusing on
After a long break, which included a coaching change, the Halifax Tides swept past the Calgary Wild 1-0 on Monday, earning an important three points as they try to climb up the Northern Super League (NSL) table. Although the changes on the pitch were minor — a tweak in formation, going

"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:
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
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. But an explosive second half — highlighted by captain Gunnhildur Yrsa Jónsdóttir's match winner — secured the Tides' first win
If its true, as that rascal Bill Shakespeare wrote, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet, then the same can be said of Forge FC's home and the Halifax Wanderers' inability to win there, be it branded by a giant coffee chain or simply
Halifax Tides
Two iterations of the Halifax Tides were on display at McMahon Stadium on Wednesday night. The first iteration, which has reared its head several times this season, including in the club's 4-1 home opener loss to the Calgary Wild in April, began the first half. They were hesitant

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

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

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&

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

It had been a long time since Kareem Sow had felt that feeling. And although he had said all the right things, done all the work on and off the pitch, and stuck around through rehab to support his teammates, that feeling — of contributing on the pitch and making a
