You know it’s cold when Nick Hagglund wears a long-sleeved jersey.
The Toronto FC defender has never particularly minded frigid temperatures, typically favouring a short-sleeved top over bundling up during games.
But in dressing for the coldest match ever played between two Major League Soccer teams — it was minus-13 C in Denver when the MLS champion Reds kicked off against the Colorado Rapids on Tuesday night in the first leg of the CONCACAF Champions’ League’s round of 16 — Hagglund chose the extra layer as Toronto put up a 2-0 victory in its first competitive match of the year.
