This past weekend Saskatoon visited Calgary United FC at the Subway Soccer Centre in a must win situation. The Accelerators pressed hard from start to finish, they had a 4-0 lead before Calgary managed to put any numbers on the scoreboard. The late charging effort of Calgary made for an exciting finish and the Accelerators answered pressure with pressure and the contest ended 6-4 in favor of the Saskatoon side. The league title is awarded to the team with most accumulated points throughout the season, in the event of a tie, head to head match ups will be the determining factors. The team with the most wins head to head, is the first consideration and if that is even it would then be determined by goals for. As it stands a Saskatoon Accelerator victory clinches the title. In order for Calgary to win they must win against Saskatoon with more goals than Saskatoon and win their remaining two games against Winnipeg. Saskatoon is undefeated at home this season with a 5-0 record. The CMISL champion will then go to San Diego to compete in the North American championship being held from March 11-13, 2010 The game this weekend will be at The Henk Ruys Centre. The gates open at 11 am with a 12 noon kick off. All tickets and T-shirts are 50% off. Come cheer on your hometown side. Saskatoon Accelerators remain undefeated on the notorious tile. Opponents we haven’t even faced yet this season are blogging about it. The tale of the tile began January 3, 2010. After suffering a disheartening loss the night before in Edmonton, the Accelerators returned home feeling a feeling they were definitely not expecting. Saskatoon returned home to a small yet energetic crowd of about 150 at the Henk Ruys Centre, you could see when you looked in their eyes they were destined for greatness that day. The home field advantage found the Saskatoon Accelerators hand the Edmonton Drillers a 12 to 2 defeat. The next foes to fall at the feet of the Accelerators at home were the Denver Dynamite. Not only did they arrive to Saskatoon to a blizzard, they received an avalanche of goals on the pitch at Henk Ruys. In the first of the 2 matches the Accelerators won 12-4, in the 2nd match the Accelerators won 6-4. When the Alliance came to town they did not receive one unearned chance from the Accelerators, which seemed to cause Chris Musto of the Alliance to kick Benno Looft of the Accelerators in the back of the head, “in a violent manner” according to the official report. This brings us to date, 5 and 0 at the Henk Ruys this season, and in first place for points. The only team that stands between the Accelerators and the league championship is the team we play for the remaining two games for the season, Calgary United FC. The first match is at the Subway Soccer Centre in Calgary on February 20, 7pm kickoff. Calgary is also undefeated at home this season. The Accelerators are looking to hand Calgary its first loss at home and second loss of the season. The pair will return to the Tile of Saskatoon on Gold Medal Sunday on February 28, for a 12pm kickoff.
(The game will be over in time to watch the gold medal hockey game, hey we’re Canadian too:))
This match could very well be the determining factor of who is the 2010 CMISL champion! You don’t want to miss it!!! An exciting season has begun for the Saskatoon Accelerators who kicked off their first game Jan 2 in Edmonton hosted by the Edmonton Drillers at the Southside Soccer Centre. The game resulted in a 13 -2 loss for the Accelerators with remarks heard from the players on their uneasiness on the loss. Fans were treated to a valiant effort put forth followed by a solid win. Accelerators pulled together to create an amazing 12-2 win against the Drillers Jan 3 where they played to an enthusiastic home crowd at the Henk Ruys Centre. The opposing team was shown the strength and connection of the Accelerators talent that lead to the turn around. Congratulations to both teams for providing high scoring, action packed entertainment.
With a win against the defending CMISL Champions, Accelerators took a 9-6 loss from the Winnipeg Alliance who hosted their first home game this year on Jan. 9 at the Seven Oaks Soccer-Plex. A challenge was inevitable as some of the Alliance players enjoyed victory as the National Champions which BMO sponsored in October 2009 here in Saskatoon. Accelerators pleased fans again coming back with a nearly mirror finish beating the Alliance 9-5. This game being played again in Winnipeg just the day after.
Next on the agenda is a shoot out with the Denver Dynamite of the PASL. They are considered to be highly competitive with 3 members of the U.S. National Indoor soccer team on their squad. The Accelerators play the Dynamite 4 times in two weeks. They first visit Denver on the 16th and 17th of Jan. They then play host to the Dynamite at the Henk Ruys Centre for the home field advantage. Will the Accelerators continue their mirror image play? How will the Accelerators line up against the Dynamite? Come see the live fast paced action at the Henk Ruys Centre at 5pm on the 23rd and 2pm on the 24th for the answers to all the above.
The Accelerators are looking for a big win at home on Sunday, January 3 against the Edmonton Drillers! The Accelerators play the Edmonton Drillers on Sunday January 3 at the Henk Ruys Centre. Gates open at 1:05 pm.
The Saskatoon Accelerators 2008 season took the city’s youth and soccer fans by storm. The team, playing in the Canadian Major Indoor Soccer League, educated and entertained fans on the Indoor Soccer game. After each game, whether they won or lost, players signed autographs and visited with young fans after each home game. The team would like to thank their supporters and look forward to the 2009 season.
