We went behind the scenes at training and got a closer look at both teams, along with interviews featuring Tanya Boychuk and Robert Rositoiu.

If you're into Canadian soccer coverage beyond matchday, we’re posting weekly practice notes, photos, videos, and interviews on Patreon.

Would love to hear your thoughts on both teams right now 👇

Does anyone have the attendance numbers from week one?

Vancouver had 4,723 fans, what about the other two games?

Sydney FC defender Tori Tumeth has officially signed for Northern Super League (NSL) side Vancouver Rise, departing the Sky Blues after three seasons in Sydney. The Sydneysider, an A-League Women championship winner in 2023–24 and an ASEAN Women's Championship winner with the U23 Matildas in 2025, becomes the second Australian player to play in the new top tier of Canadian professional women's soccer (currently in its second season), joining Matildas striker Kahli Johnson at Calgary Wild. She will wear the number six jersey for the Rice.

Thank you for everything Tori and good luck on your future career!

I don't get it. FIFTY PER CENT of the Rapid starting field player lineup are non-Canadian players!? Is this just the Rapid? Is it common on other NSL teams? I thought the one of goals of the NSL was to create a domestic professional pathway for Canadian talent.

Not gonna lie… I came away from NSL opening weekend pretty impressed.
