    Todd Plourde has been named Head Coach. Good or bad for the program?

    The pipeline to CFC has just been opened; Iona on track to keep sucking.

      Just saw that CFC finished 18th in the ECNL last year that’s not bad. This guy is tight with Ron alber at sUsA , Paul Riley at Alberto’s. And Ruari McGinnus from east meadow. He will pull in players from Long Island with ease. Players that are looking to stay close to home will go to Iona. They won’t be a top program in the country but the will be in contention for the MAAC tourny in 2 years.

        My daughter has friends that have played for him at CFC. They all like him and all think he will do well at Iona. But recruiting is done for the 2019/2020 seasons I’m sure so it will be at least 2 years before we will be able to judge him on his recruits. We will see what type of coach he is though very soon

          Great hire for Iona. 1 million times better than the last 2 coaches.

            That was CFCs best finish (by far) ever. Most years they are only slightly better in every age group than their CT ECNL counterpart, FSA.

                Pda, Stars of Mass are clearly the top 2 clubs followed by CFC and Match Fit. SUSA and EM are just behind them.

                  Seriously? FSA is everyone’s guaranteed win! Great park though and some pretty nice Moms!

                  Teams are pretty bad

                    That was the point morons .... CFC slightly better than FSA historically does not point to FSAs greatness but, rather, speaks to how poor CFC typically is, you damned koolaid drinker.

                      CFC's college commit lists speak otherwise. https://www.soccerwire.com/news/club...e-commitments/

                      CFC has a few high quality teams, a few less so. FSA is mediocre at best across the board with more than a few teams in the basement. Both club's NPL teams are lackluster but at least CFC ECNL overall is solid.

                      CT is too small state to have 2 in state ECNL clubs (plus some CT players come to NY) and a GDA team (that is also floundering). It is reflective of the landscape overall. Too many "top" leagues and clubs, not enough so called top talent.

                      As for TP he's said to be a good guy, solid coach. Anything will an improvement over before. However, he will have to greatly expand his recruiting universe to get more talent in.

                        Stop basing their historical performance on last year and last year only .... it was their best year ever and likely a 1-time deal. Here are their records from 2016-17:

                        U14: 5-13-8 (12th of 14 in NE ECNL)
                        U15: 8-1-4 (3rd of 14 in NE ECNL)
                        U16: 8-2-3 (3rd of 14 in NE ECNL)
                        U17: 2-9-2 (12th of 14 in NE ECNL)
                        U18: 1-10-2 (13th of 14 in NE ECNL)
                        U18 COMP: 5-2-1 (4th of 9 in NE ECNL)

                        Their 15s and 16s got a little better that season due to influx of outsiders. Most years they finish like their 14s, 17s, and 18s did. Slightly better than FSA at most age groups.

                        This year their 13's are 2-3-3 and their 14s are 2-4-2 and both are 6th of 8 spots. None of their other teams have played a game yet. Slightly better than FSA at most age groups.

                          Only a handful of nice moms. More than a few ugly personalities in the bunch.

                            You must be with FSA to put that much effort into a post. Take it to the CT board.

                              Yeah, it was a ton of effort ... not from FSA either, just over the CT ECNL clubs flexing their sorry little muscles when neither can play a lick of soccer. Heffers kicking far and running semi-fast and neither can complete more than 2 passes in a row (to their own teammates that is).
