VANCOUVER, BC – For many years, young soccer players growing up in Saskatchewan could only dream of making the professional ranks.
There was no pathway. And, for the most part, no hope.
Brett Levis helped change that in 2016 when he signed a Major League Soccer contract with Vancouver Whitecaps FC, becoming the first graduate of the University of Saskatchewan to do so. And now, for the second time in less than three years, the province of Saskatchewan – and more specifically, the city of Saskatoon – has produced another MLSer for the club.
Whitecaps FC announced on Thursday that 19-year-old goalkeeper Thomas Hasal has been added to the MLS roster.
