Rovers League1 BC Matchweek 4 – Trading Blows and Scorelines with Langley’s Unity FC
The Rovers gamedays continue to come hot and heavy, as does that sunshine. It was another steamy, summer-like May Saturday at Swangard, and there are few better places to take in the majesty of a fine Lower Mainland afternoon. Part of the stadium, the southwest side, which includes its entrance, is nestled away in the friendly confines of Burnaby’s beautiful, tree-filled Central Park; the other half opens up to the north, the low ground of Burnaby allowing view of the stunning North Shore mountains. The Swangard pitch, surrounded by an earth-toned track, feels like the centre of this universe. When it all comes together on a balmy day beneath a…

Rovers League1 BC Matchweek 3 – Striking Hot Against Harbourside
BC weather is not the only thing heating up the Swangard Stadium pitch this month. This past Saturday featured another anticipated League1 BC double-header for the TSS Rovers, facing Harbourside FC, the brand-new addition to League1 BC for this year. It was the first face-off between the two teams for both the men and women and both sides were looking to leave an impression. For the women, Rovers are slowly building their starters back into the line-up as they return from the US with their college seasons ending. They have not won a game this season and with last week’s game ending in a 1-1 tie, the women were hungry…

Pirates on Tour – Rovers Invade the Island in Search of More Can Champ Glory
Rovers’ now-signature win over Valour in the Canadian Championship preliminary round was a glorious bit of treasure, enough for a supporter to live on for years. But the victory was also a ticket to the high seas, as the next Voyageurs Cup battle came against Vancouver Island’s CPL club, Pacific FC. It was time for us Pirates to batten down the hatches, fly the flag, and head off in search of gold – those three shiny points of PFC’s trident. Our pack of Pirates set sail from Tsawwassen on a sun-soaked Wednesday afternoon, meeting on the ship’s top deck to hoist the Jolly Roger. Nearby civilians scuttled away from our…

A Spirit of the Rovers Spotlight: Chris Corrigan – More than a Spectator
The notorious unpredictably of spring weather in the Lower Mainland loomed over Swangard stadium this past Saturday during its double header game of both the women and men TSS Rovers team. It was the kind of weather that confuses you – as you don’t know if you should wear shorts or a rain jacket. Despite the threat of a downpour, weather is never the reason for keeping the TSS Rovers fans (most commonly known as the Swanguardians) away from a home game. Since the very beginning, there is a special connection between the club and their fans, which in many ways has epitomized what the club stands for. One of…

Rovers League1 BC Matchweek 2 – A Heated Double-Bill Against the Highlanders
It’s been a sunny start to this new TSS Rovers season, on and off the pitch. The first two matchdays (including the Voyageurs Cup clash) saw the venerable Swangard Stadium bathed in glorious sun, a major win in the annual BC Springtime weather lottery. Speaking of major wins, that three-goal performance by the men’s side against the CPL’s Valour was bright enough to light up the night, giving us one of the highest of highs in club football: the cup upset. But, of course, things can’t always be rosy; the weather turns, challenges come. This League1 BC double bill against the Victoria Highlanders played out beneath a blanket of grey…

SWING BIG
It’s no joke that when we started this journey we sketched a set of goals on the back of a napkin. We couldn’t imagine in 2018 when we joined the USL-PDL that we would appear in the Voyageurs Cup. But it was on our napkin. So even getting to play in this game was a years long dream for Colin Elmes and Brendan Quarry and Will Cromack and Darren Russcher and everyone else at Total Soccer who wanted to give their players the best chance to achieve their dreams. From the moment TSS Rovers began in 2017 we all set out to build something we saw was missing in the…
