Wherein Our Heroes look ahead past the opening weekend of the Canadian Premier League. Valour FC earn victory against Pacific FC in a physical match. We hear from Pacific FC’s Michael Siberbauer and José Hernández as well as Valour FC skipper Rob Gale. The physical nature of the matches has been entertaining, but will players stay protected as the season winds along? Also, Kyle Bekker earns this year’s first-ever Joey Barton Award for his bodycheck on York’s Di Chiara.
