Nick Soolsma lighting up the Vancouver Metro Soccer League for CCBRT United:

would've assumed it was a local Dutch kid with that name, but it looks like he's now living in the lower Mainland: http://vancouver.kijiji.ca/c-service...AdIdZ559389220
Always liked Nick SoolsmaOriginally Posted by themodelcitizen
^Interesting. Wikipedia has him playing for South Melbourne FC in the Victorian Premier League. According to the club website, he's still on their roster. Maybe he's getting some off-season training in?
Whoa, that's ... unexpected. How did you even find this?
I was a big Soolsma fan and was pissed he was let go, thought he was a solid MLS winger. Surprised he didn't catch on anywhere else.
This is probably what's going on. South Melbourne are in the the Victoria Premier League, part of the second tier in Australia, with their season running from Feb - August.
a ha ha heh he hoo.. ha
Pretty random. Guessing he met a girl out in Australia from up here? Was he married before?
I wonder if he teaches kids how to cut rails of coke?
WE DID IT!
I used to post that he was so slow that he belongs in a pub league. That was only 18 months ago.
Pro sports is a brutal business. I will never forget his performance in Torreon, and I wish him well.

We also were big Soolsma fans! We were very upset to see him let go! Sooslma was very good for TFC!
Adrian Cann signs with San Antonio of NASL.

^Good for him. Was always hoping he'd catch on somewhere eventually.
Great to see Adrian back in the game. I proudly display his jersey from his final game in Toronto. A good guy all around.
Remember The Man, The Legend, The Goal 5-12-07 and All That #9 Left On The Pitch, Thanks For The Memories !!!
He seriously got scapegoated with us. Never that great on the tackle, but he marked well and he was killer in the air, averaging seven clearances a game with his head. Too timid and easy going to be a line leader but he was a good second or third option.
Agreed.
He's not a regular starter on a good MLS team, but I'd be fine with him in the #3-4 CB hole we have right now.
(provided his form is still at a similar level to when he was here)
it's got to be something with his personal life that's affecting his football. lots of skill, not enough focus. strangely, TFC was the only club he had everything put together. getting cut by Mariner must have really pissed him off. he's going into Rohan Ricketts trajectory, except less of a resume. And why Vancouver?I wonder if he teaches kids how to cut rails of coke?

Seriously, is there no chance of getting him back?
Very inexpensive depth quality winger to be had right here. And proven with TFC.
I'll buy him his first 8-ball when he lands in Toronto!

I sent him an email yesterday ( from kajiji site ) mentioning he was still appreciated in Toronto, he replied wishing TFC success.
May be if there are more people asking him, he might want to give TFC FO a call.
We won't see him back and it's not for footballing reasons. Houston was not a one off situation with him.

Just in case this wasn't mentioned somewhere else.

Milo Kocic announced the end of his playing career today. Opening a GK academy in Toronto.
I really thought he would grab the #1 spot at Portland but Ricketts' revival of form stopped that from happening.
*credit to Armen B for getting details on that

He retired due to "family reasons". Otherwise known as trying to raise triplets on 50k a year. He'll probably be able to make more through his academy.
Shame. Individual salary floor better rise in the next CBA.
Too bad. I thought Milos was relatively underrated and was one of the few guys who wasn't afraid to speak up when things were handled poorly. Shame he's just going to miss out on the next CBA, but at 28 and with a family to take care of it was probably time for him to get things settled career wise.
Nice to see he made his way back to Toronto and hope he does well with the GK camp.
Looks like Danny K has found a home back in Holland.

Former TFC keeper Milos Kocic opens Toronto academy“My wife (Evelyn) is happy here. Her family is here. I feel happy in Toronto and I want my kids (16-month-old triplets) to be here,” Kocic said.
The Serbian-born Kocic hopes to get his Canadian citizenship down the line: “It’s a great country. It’s a great city. That’s why I want to stay here.”
