November proved to be an exceptional month for U15/2009 boys’ soccer teams across Canada. From league triumphs to tournament glories, these teams showcased their skills and earned their positions in our updated rankings. Here’s a breakdown of the top 10 teams and the performances that secured their spots:
1. Ottawa South United | OPDL
Performance:
Ottawa South United (OSU) continues to dominate, securing the top spot with an exceptional season. After winning the U15 OPDL Charity Shield, OSU added to their accolades by claiming the inaugural PDP Championship earlier this year. As the only team to achieve the prestigious ‘double’ in 2024, their consistency, resilience, and ability to deliver in high-stakes matches solidify their place as the best in Canada.
2. St. Laurent | PLSJQ
Performance:
St. Laurent demonstrated remarkable consistency, finishing first in the PLSJQ standings after a thrilling season. Their ability to surge past AS Laval, the long-time leaders, reflects their quality and determination. With only one loss all season, they’ve proven to be one of Canada’s most formidable teams.
3. Surrey FC 09B | BCSPL
Performance:
Surrey FC’s impressive run included a second-place finish at the PDP Nationals and an undefeated record in Phase 2 of the BCSPL, before narrowly losing to Fusion FC in the final. Their strong defensive structure and ability to maintain form make them a force to be reckoned with in youth soccer.
4. Vaughan B15 | OPDL
Performance:
Vaughan’s early-season dominance and a second-place finish at the FTF Fall Showcase keep them in the top five. However, a winless October caused their ranking to dip slightly. With upcoming showcase tournaments, Vaughan has an opportunity to rebound and end the year on a high note.
5. Woodbridge B15 | OPDL
Performance:
Despite a 2-1 loss to Vaughan at the FTF Fall Showcase and a defeat against OSU in the OPDL Charity Shield final, Woodbridge remains a top contender. Their consistently strong performances throughout the season and resilience against tough competition secure their place in the rankings.
6. Burlington Force SA | Ontario Soccer
Performance:
Burlington Force SA captured the Toyota Nationals title with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over BTB in the final. Their tournament successes, including the Ontario Cup win, highlight their ability to rise to the occasion and justify their position among Canada’s elite teams.
7. BTB | EMSA
Performance:
BTB’s season concluded with a runner-up finish at Nationals, where they suffered their only loss to Burlington Force SA. Their unbeaten streak in the USA Cup and consistent performances across competitions establish them as one of the country’s top teams.
8. AS Laval | PLSJQ
Performance:
AS Laval’s season was highlighted by a second-place finish in the PLSJQ and a strong showing at the PDP Nationals, where they placed third. Their balanced and talented squad has consistently performed against top-tier opponents, securing their place in the rankings.
9. Calgary Foothills | APDL
Performance:
Calgary Foothills have been unstoppable in the Alberta Premier Development League (APDL), beginning their campaign with six consecutive wins. Their dominance within Alberta and potential for national impact make them a team to watch as the season progresses.
10. North Toronto SC | OPDL
Performance:
North Toronto SC capped their season with a standout victory at the FTF Fall Showcase, defeating #4-ranked Vaughan SC in the final. While they finished 5th in the OPDL league, their tournament success earned them a spot in the top 10 and a trophy to close out the year.
