Youth soccer players chase dreams at Gloucester Hornets Cup

Nearly 250 young athletes flooded the Hornets Nest this weekend to compete in the Gloucester Hornets Cup amid a massive wave of soccer enthusiasm. The tournament kicked off just one day after Canada's men's national soccer team concluded its historic World Cup run in the Round of 16. Young regional players like Renaldo Yapele and Jose-Antoine Marlot revealed they are deeply inspired by Canadian soccer star Jonathan David, who originally learned the game with the Gloucester club. Technical director Jay Da Costa expects the tournament momentum to drive a significant registration spike into the winter and next summer seasons.
