April 27th was a big day for Canadian soccer. The Canadian Premier League finally kicked off at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton. It was a pretty chilly game, the temperature at the stadium being around 3 degrees Celsius and the wind making it feel even colder.
Their was a lot of buzz around the stadium, there were quite a few fans who already had Forge FC jerseys and scarfs already — so they were well prepared for the game. The mood was really positive overall.
When I got in the stadium, I went to go get a Forge FC scarf, but it ended up being that they completely sold out of scarves as they had a sale on all scarves at the stadium for that match — and scarves are one of the biggest sellers for most soccer teams anyway.
