In front of a packed and electric home crowd at Seaway Park 3, the Humber Hawks captured the 2025 CCAA Men’s Soccer National Championship title with a hard-fought 2-1 victory over host Champlain Saint-Lambert. The gold medal match lived up to its billing, delivering intensity, drama, and moments of brilliance from both sides.

After a scoreless first half filled with tactical discipline and strong goalkeeping, the breakthrough came in the 76th minute when Humber’s Cisco Thomas (#14) fired home the opener. Just seven minutes later, Tyler Yasaka (#9) doubled the lead with a composed finish, giving the Hawks a 2-0 cushion. Champlain responded in the 89th minute through Yacine Ihaddadéne (#20), who buried a late goal to ignite the home supporters and set up a tense finish.

Despite a final push from the Cavaliers, Humber’s defense held firm, anchored by goalkeeper Amar Dhindsa (#1), who earned 4-Imprint Player of the Game honors for his three critical saves and commanding presence in the box. For Champlain, defender Cyril Boivin (#5) was recognized as 4-Imprint Player of the Game for his leadership and composure under pressure, helping to contain Humber’s dynamic attack throughout the match.

The final whistle sparked jubilant celebrations from the Hawks, who capped off an undefeated tournament run with their 4th national title since 2021. For Champlain, the silver medal marked a proud achievement in front of their unwavering home fans, building on their bronze medal finish in 2024. 

In one of the most thrilling matches of the tournament, the NAIT Ooks edged the Conestoga Condors in a dramatic 4-4 draw that was ultimately decided by a 3-0 shootout victory for NAIT, securing the bronze medal at the 2025 CCAA Men’s Soccer National Championship.

Conestoga came out flying, with early goals from Matteo Grant (#2) in the 8th minute and Gregor Mckeon (#11) in the 18th giving them a 2-0 lead. NAIT responded through Jameson Kiezik (#9) before halftime, and continued their surge in the second half with goals from Ranjeet Singh Brar (#18) and Ryak Kabashi (#14), taking a 3-2 lead. Luca Romano (#21) equalized for Conestoga in the 68th minute, but was later sent off with a red card in the 71st, leaving the Condors down a man.

Despite the disadvantage, Conestoga pushed the match into extra time. Kabashi struck again in the 110th minute with a penalty, but Ricardo Alvarado (#10) answered at the death, scoring in the 120th minute to force penalties.

In the shootout, NAIT converted all three of their attempts while goalkeeper Parys Ona MacArthur (#29) stood tall, denying every Conestoga effort. His heroics, combined with the defensive leadership of Jackson Ryan Csobot (#4)—who earned 4-Imprint Player of the Game honors—sealed the win. For Conestoga, Matteo Grant (#2) was named Player of the Game for his early goal and midfield command.
