A Look Back at RMC Men’s Soccer
25937 Michaël Lachance, Men’s Soccer Captain
The RMC Men’s Soccer team had their most successful season to date. Training camp started in mid-August and right from the start, you could tell this was a different team than years prior. With two-a-days of intense cardio and training, within 2 weeks the team was more than prepared to start off the 2012 soccer season. Although suffering several extremely close losses, including losing 2-1 and 1-0 to the nationally ranked Carleton Ravens, we managed to pick up a total of 5 points this year, which including a win at home against Trent, and two ties against both Nipissing and Laurentian. However, our greatest victory of the season was finishing above Trent in the standings, an outstanding achievement for RMC men’s soccer.
Next year, after losing only 3 graduating players, we plan on coming back even stronger than ever, and our training will be even more rigorous next summer. We have finally discovered the amount of potential our team has, and this potential will absolutely be recognized next season as the RMC men’s soccer program will establish itself as a strong playoff candidate in the 2013 season.

L’équipe de soccer masculin de RMC a eu un grand montant de succès cette année. Le camp d’entraînement a débuté en mi-Août et dès le départ, c’était évident que c’était une équipe différente que celle de l’année passée. Avec des entraînements deux fois par jour de cardio intense et de soccer, en dedans de 2 semaines l’équipe était enfin prête pour affronter la compétition. Malgré avoir souffert plusieurs défaites par seulement 1 ou 2 buts, incluant avoir perdu 2-1 et 1-0 contre Carleton (un université à Ottawa qui sont classés au niveau national), l’équipe a ramassé 5 points total, consistant d’une victoire contre Trent, et 2 égalités contre Nipissing et Laurentian. Par contre, notre plus grosse victoire cette saison était d’avoir fini classé au-dessus de Trent dans notre conférence, une réalisation incroyable pour le soccer masculin de RMC.
L’année prochaine, ayant perdu seulement 3 joueurs de 4eme année, nous planifions encore plus de succès et de retourner plus fort que jamais. Notre entraînement et notre préparation va être encore plus rigoureux l’été prochain. Nous avons enfin découvert notre potentiel, et celui-ci sera reconnu l’année prochaine quand l’équipe s’établira comme un fort candidat des séries dans la saison 2013.
