Colin Stauffer remembers the player visits in Prince George well.
Robert Earnshaw. Gershon Koffie. Pedro Morales.
“It was really cool. Koffie came and played with us. Playing and being around professionals made me one day want to be at that level.”
Stauffer started soccer at the age of three in the Prince George Youth Soccer Association (PGYSA). He also played hockey until he was 11 before deciding to focus on the grass pitch.
In Prince George outdoor training is mostly in the summer, with the cold weather driving footy indoors from October to May.
