So Buffalo, we’ve had a good 26 year run.
Sadly, its time to head out to Kansas City to work in a field I love, and we have to part.
I’ll always value the time I spent here. No matter where I’ve travelled I’ve always found at least one person who was either from Buffalo or had only great things to say about the Queen City.
Even while on a bus to the rome airport a talk about what Buffalo eatery we wanted to have transported here got a response from a girl behind us, who was from Amherst. Go Figure.

A brand new addition to the NPSL Final Four this season was the inclusion of an All-Star Pro Combine and All-Star Game.
The NPSL decided during the last few months it was important to push forward their all stars in the hope of moving them on to the next level.
My favorite moment of the 2010 Final Four weekend was a Q&A session we had with Fernando Clavijo, Director of Soccer for Traffic Sports and Matt Driver, Owner of Atlantic Soccer Factory.
Both Matt and Fernando were exceptionally well spoken and outright with the 20+ NPSL All-Stars who were at the event. The most basic question on every player’s mind was simple – ‘Do I have a shot at being a professional player.”
The answer may not be yes, but there is plenty of hope.
