Hall officially joins TFC nation

(is that like "Leafs Nation?" )

Don Mills CI alumnus drafted by hometown squad in MLS superdraft
By Carmine Bonanno

It was probably the hardest lecture Kyle Hall ever had to sit through.

And it had nothing to do with the content.

On Jan. 15, Hall was on his way to Strategic Human Resource Management class at Syracuse University when he heard his phone ringing.

“I got a call from my agent telling me I had been drafted by Toronto FC in the third round (39th overall in the Major League Soccer Superdraft),” said Hall via email from Syracuse. “It was hard afterwards to sit through the class and listen to the lecture.

“After, I received confirmation from my girlfriend … and from my coach Jaro (Zawislan),” the Don Mills Collegiate alumnus added. “To receive these messages kind of clarified with me that I wasn’t dreaming.”

In his third year at Syracuse, Hall said he was a bit shocked to be selected. But considering the striker scored 13 goals in 51 games for the Orange and was named to the 2008 All Big East Second Team, it shouldn’t have been a surprise at all.

There is enough 'nations' out there. (Red Sox, Leafs etc)

So... if he's signed, are we still going to sign Jackie Chan???? I think we have enough firepower for now Mo

[dantdot]

Not sure why they say officially joins, he hasn't signed?

Yeah, this doesn't seem like new information. The title made me think he actually signed a contract.

[Don Julio]

Maybe physically "joining" them for the preseason?

[Nuvinho]

I don't think both Hall and Jackie Chan will be signed, its one or the other - unless another forward is on his way out.

this is old... it's news from the draft.

[TorontoBlades]

I think this means drafted...

[Super Cereal]

Damn, got my hopes up, thought he was signed.

He's pretty good in FIFA 09.

Kyle can also play basketball, we we're teammates in Don Mills CI, maybe the Raptor Nation can get him as well...haha

Would you prefer the "TFC Municipality"?

Sorry, but what have I missed? Who is this Jackie Chan who has been so widely mentioned around the boards today?

Trialist who says he is a lock to make the team. He has no visa to come to Canada, so he has stayed in Florida waiting for the team to come back.
