There was an undoubted feelgood factor Friday night at MTELUS for the launch of the new Impact shirt at the 2019 season kick-off event.
Around 1500 fans filled the venue, not only to see the latest in Impact fashion, but to hear from new President Kevin Gilmore, Administrative Director of Soccer Operations Pat Leduc, and Head Coach Remi Garde. It was also a chance to re-connect with the players, briefly back in town before heading off to Florida for Pre-Season Camp Part 2, today (Monday).
The atmosphere was one of optimism, the crowd chanted player names enthusiastically and greeted each one as they were introduced to the stage, none more so than Ignacio Piatti, probably about to play his last season in Canada.
