THOMPSON RIVERS UNIVERSITY WOLFPACK
2016 Thompson Rivers University WolfPack Men's Soccer
There is a lot of optimism surrounding
the Thompson Rivers University WolfPack
as the 2016-17 Canada West soccer
season begins.
The team showed steady improvement
under head coach John Antulov last
season and was in a battle for their first
ever playoff spot as the season wound
down. Unfortunately, the squad fell short.
This year, the core of players Antulov
has brought in over the last couple of
years has some much valued experience
battling against some of the top teams
in the CIS (who play in the Canada West
Pacific Division).
Ryan Glanville (Williams Lake, BC) became
the first TRU soccer player ever to earn a
Canada West all-star honor. The veteran
forward was a second team all-star after
winding up tied for third in overall goals.
He will certainly garner attention this
season from the opposition along with
Mitch Popadynetz (Nelson, BC).
Popadynetz, Colton Walker (Sicamous,
BC) and Finlay McPhie (Vernon, BC) are
the team’s co captains this year. Walker
will be a steady influence in the midfield
while McPhie will anchor the back line. All
three will be vital to the team’s success.
Popadynetz spent this summer playing
in the Premier Development League for
the Victoria Highlanders in an effort to
improve his overall game.
It will be a tall task to replace graduated
veterans like keeper Travis Froehlich
(Revelstoke, BC), Corey Wallis (Enderby,
BC), Oriol Torres (Barcelona, Spain) along
with Braeden Burrows and Kyle Fertile
(both Kamloops, BC).
But Antulov expects fourth year
midfielder Mike Harvey (Calgary, AB), third
year midfielder Mike Bennett (Vernon, BC)
along with sophomores Adam Swanson
(North Vancouver, BC) and Olamide
Adjibike (Maple Ridge, C) to contribute
more as they see the field for longer
stretches of time.
The addition of Justin Donaldson
(Kamloops, BC), who played two seasons
at the University of Victoria will also go
a long way in the leadership and depth
department. Another key addition is Vicky
Parhar (Surrey, BC), who played two years
in the PACWEST for Kwantlen Polytechnic
and most recently toiled for the Langley
F.C. Hurricanes of the Vancouver Metro
Soccer League.
The WolfPack have three Europeans on
their roster as Kahalifa Fanne (Tours,
France) is joined by countryman Maxime
Fieujean (Servas, France) and Belgium
born Thomas Lantmeeters (Zulendaal,
Belgium). Their other international player
is Yuya Nakano (Aichi, Japan), who played
this summer for the Pacific Coast Soccer
League Kamloops Heat.
The keeper’s spot is up for grabs with last
year’s back up Clay Harsany (High River,
BC) battling rookies Lubomir Magdolen
(Kamloops, BC) and Brady VanRyswyk
(Penticton, BC) for the starter’s job.
Other first year recruits are: Kailum
Nicolson (6’2”, centre back, Kamloops, BCValleyview Secondary/KYSA U-18), and
Tomas Goddard (6’0” forward, Kamloops,
BC- St Ann’s Academy/Kamloops Youth
Soccer U-18).
While the WolfPack are anxious about
this season they are also building towards
a strong team for 2017 when Thompson
Rivers gets an automatic berth to the CIS
Soccer Nationals as the host team.

Div I). If he could be on another TRU varsity team it would be baseball so he could play with childhood friend Eric
Brownell. Adam says he would like to dine with Boston Celtic and Kamloops native Kelly Olynyk but only if he
would pick up the cheque. Adam’s fondest sports moment was assisting on the winning goal in the last seconds
of extra time in the 2014 BC “AAA” High School championships. He was about to take a free kick and instead
went in the 18 yard box to flick it to a teammate. After the goal, the whistle blew and the fans stormed the field.
