BOLTON WANDERERS PAY TORONTO LYNX A VISIT

FRIDAY DECEMBER 6, 2007 (TORONTO, ON) Toronto Lynx youth development partners  Bolton Wanderers Football Club of the English Premier League are set to arrive in Toronto today for their first ever official visit with the Lynx. International Academy Manager John Hindley will spend four days in the city, familiarizing himself with the Junior Lynx Academy set up as the two clubs finalize their new international affiliation.

 
As well as attending Academy training sessions and games over the weekend, Hindley will return for visits throughout the year, and will be coordinating plans for the Junior Lynx to visit the UK in March.  He will also stage meetings with players and their parents as a part of the new joint venture between the clubs.

 
"The Bolton Wanderers are very excited about the recent success of the Junior Lynx during the past Super-Y league season." commented Hindley, "I am looking forward to seeing first-hand the potential talent being developed here in Canada and to building this partnership together with the Toronto Lynx Premier Soccer Academy".  

WILDE AND RAMJOHN EARN SUPER-Y LEAGUE ALL-LEAGUE HONOURS

The United Soccer Leagues announced that two Toronto Lynx Juniors U17 players have been named to the Super-Y League North American Finals All-League team following the Lynx' silver-medal finish at the tournament held last month in Tampa, Florida.  Forward Mackenzie Wilde and defender Julian Ramjohn were recognized by opposition coaches for their stellar play during the tournament, leading Toronto to four wins before succumbing in overtime to Midwest division rival Chicago Magic in the championship fixture.
