June 28, 2011 - Former stand out to ply his trade with Dalhousie University
HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA - Bezick Evraire Chance is on his way to Dalhousie University later this summer to play university soccer. Bezick was formally a stand out with our YDP and youth programs. He moved on to the Ottawa Fury at age 16 where he played on two championship teams. This summer, he is playing with the PDL Reserve team in Men's Premier. Some of you may also recall that Bezick spent six months training with the Toronto FC Academy in 2010.
We are confident this will be a good fit for Bezick and wish him the very best. In case you do not know, Bezick fondly recalls his time at Capital United, and always speaks highly of our Club and its coaches. Go Tigers!
