Exactly one year ago, Toronto FC III and FC London were matched up to kick off the season. The weather was cold and extremely windy — this site was the former military airport on the outskirts of Toronto. TFC III ran away with that game 6-0, since they were the team that was more used to practising in windy conditions and the visitors had switched to a mainly U21 roster for the first time after playing in the PDL for years.
I was expecting the game to be outside on the field turf just beside the BMO Training Ground’s main building doors.
