Pantemis Eyes Battle For #1 Spot
Thumbs-up! Montreal shot-stopper James Pantemis aims to bounce back in 2022.James Pantemis is no stranger to battling for the #1 starting spot at CF Montreal.
After spending multiple years in the role of understudy to Evan Bush and Clement Diop, he’s determined to reclaim the starting spot he lost towards the end of last season to Sebastian Breza.
It was somewhat of a double-whammy of disappointment for Pantemis. The ‘keeper in possession of the regular season shirt is traditionally benched for Canadian Championship games, but in 2021 Wilfried Nancy kept with Breza. Pantemis had to make do, claiming his national championship medal observing from the sidelines as the reserve.
