SSA Director of Soccer Operations, Dave Nutt, "This is a fantastic opportunity for Gabriel to continue his development. We are thankful to Edmonton FC for taking the time to recognize the contributions of SSA Member Organizations, Astra Academy and Eastside Youth Soccer Association, in Gabriel’s development and for providing Saskatchewan players with the opportunity to train in a professional club academy. While this is a testament to Gabriel’s hard work, dedication and ability, it is also an example of how the SSA system is designed to support high performance athlete’s progress through the new Canada Soccer Pathway. With the recent release of Canada Soccer’s Men’s Excel Stream and continued implementation of the SSA High Performance Stream, we fully anticipate that many male athletes will follow in Gabriel’s footsteps in making the transition to Canada’s professional club academies enroute to opportunities with Youth National Teams and professional soccer careers."
