The Toronto Varsity Blues Men's Soccer, also known as the Blues, is a Canadian intercollegiate soccer team representing the University of Toronto.
The program is classified in the Ontario University Athletics division of U Sports, and the team competes in the East Division of the OUA. The Blues play their home games at Varsity Stadium, a 4000-seat stadium situated in downtown Toronto on the University of Toronto-St. George Campus.
Throughout the team's history, the Blues have captured one National Championship in 1988. The 1988 National Championship team has since been inducted into the Varsity Blues Hall of Fame[2]. The Blues won 49 provincial OUA Championships with the most recent one in 2010.
History
Early History (pre-1963)
The Varsity team at the University of Toronto was established in 1879. At 140 years-old, it is one of the oldest soccer teams in North America. The Blues dominated the Ontario-Quebec inter-university leagues for much of the 20th century, capturing 43 provincial titles between 1904 and 1968, including 17 provincial championships in the 1950s and 60s.[3]
Ernie Glass (1963-1968)
1963 - A Businessman Named Ernie Glass
In September 1963, Blues star-forward Bobby Lewis introduced a Toronto-businessman, named Ernie Glass, as the new head coach of the Blues. Glass had coached with Toronto City Reserve team and was a former player himself. He had ten returning Blues players that year, including top-score Keith Murphy, Jeff Mahon, Urs Maag, Bobby Lewis, Bill Troost and Peter Haynes. Despite this, the Blues were unable to win the double. They won the Blackwood Trophy after a 4-3 home-win and a 2-2 away draw against McGill but the Blues came up short in the Toronto & District Association championship after a disappointing 1-1 draw against McMaster near the end of the season, which saw them tied for second in the league standings. This was star-player's Bobby Lewis' last year as a Blue. He was invited on trial with Chelsea F.C. in England in March 1964 after the season ended and went on to attend graduate school in Wales. [4]
1964 - A Thinking Man's Team
In 1964, only 6 members had returned from the previous year's team. Among them were Pat Terrelonge, Bill Troost, Dom Dente and Nick Walker. Newcomers included future Varsity Blues soccer coach Jim Lefkos, Andy Pastor, "King" Ghartey and Austris Liepa. Coach Glass described the squad as a "thinking mans team" and the "youngest in a number of years". Despite this, the Blues finished first in the regular season standings, capturing the Toronto & District Association trophy, going undefeated in the process. As for the Blackwood Trophy, the Varsity Blues and McGill Redmen were deemed co-winners after the final game ended 0-0, even after extra-time. Jim Lefkos led the team in scoring with 11 goals.[5]
1965 - The Best College Soccer Team
By the 1965 season, the league has split into two divisions: Université de Montréal, McGill University and Queen's University in the East division and University of Toronto, University of Western Ontario, University of Guelph and McMaster University in the West division. Prior to the season, Glass praised his roster, saying that he's "never seen so much talent in a group of college kids like this". He had nine returning players (Austris Liega, Dom Dente, Bill Troost, Pat Terrelonge) at his disposal as well as rookies Ormond Mendes, Frank Soppelsa, and Bill Nepotiuk. Jim Lefkos was not a part of the 1965 team. In the middle of their undefeated season, University of Western Ontario coach Julius Payne said "Toronto has the best college soccer team I've ever seen outside of England". Toronto went undefeated in the West division and then retained the Blackwood Trophy on Nov 12, 1965 after defeating the East division winners, Queen's University, 6-1 in the final at Varsity Stadium.[6]
1966 - Blues Keep Rolling
The following season saw the return of the same Blues roster with the exception of Terrelonge and Captain Dom Dente, who both graduated. Les Clarke joined the team from McGill, while Jim Kelman, Bert Halsall, and Frank Cappuccitti joined on as rookies. The Blues went undefeated in the 1966 West Division, only drawing 3-3 at home against Guelph on the Back Campus Field. They finished the regular season in first place, and defeated McGill University at home and away to capture the Blackwood Trophy for the third year in a row. At one practice Coach Glass told the Varsity newspaper, humbly, "that a team of Blues' calibre could achieve their record without a coach" while the Blues players knowingly smiled at one another as they ultimately knew Glass' role in their triumphs.[7]
1967 - Four in a Row
This season saw the University of Waterloo and Université Laval joining the West and East divisions, respectively, increasing the size of the league to five teams in the West and four in the East. As for Glass, his entire team had returned for another year. In addition, Jim Lefkos had rejoined the Blues after missing the last two seasons, as well as rookies Ron Muir, John Gero and Jim Laverty. Glass said, during try-outs, that "many good players are going to be cut this year...[as an] indication of how strong we are". In preseason exhibition, the Blues defeated a team of ex-Toronto City players 8-3— a team which included Bobby Nicol and Alan Harvey. Blues goalkeeper, Edwin Stach compared this Blues team to his former University of Western Ontario squad: "there is no comparison [ to his old team Western ]. At Western, we practiced only two nights per week while [in Toronto] we are out [practicing] almost every day. Also, I'm sure if the coach at Western had the players that Blues cut this season, he would be mighty happy." Glass described his team as "at least top 20 in Ontario" and many of the more experience Varsity Blues players felt the team would finish at least mid-table in the Ontario National League — the semi-pro league. The Blues won the East division with an 8-0-0 record including a home and an away win against McGill University. Lefkos and Soppelsa were the team's leading scorers for the year. On a cold and rainy Saturday afternoon at Varsity Stadium in front of "100 stoich fans", the Blues bested the Queens' Golden Gaels — the undefeated team from the West division — 4-0 to retain the Blackwood Trophy for the fourth year in a row. Senior players Alan Cragg, Austris Liepa and Garth Rothwell all graduated at the end of the year.[8]
1968 - End of an Era
In what was to be Glass' final year at the helm of the team, the Blues had lost half their regular starters from the prior year. Returning to the fold were only Lefkos, Soppelsa, Sereda, Nepotiuk, Taylor and Gero. While Miles Sosa, Ken Cancellera, and goalkeeper Bernie D'Abreau were the highlights of the crop of rookies. When speaking on his last four undefeated seasons, Glass said "I don't take much credit because these guys are good to start." He added that "while most university teams have 1 or 2 good players, the Blues are uniformly strong". The Blues, however, started off the season with a string of exhibition losses, albeit against strong opposition. They lost 1-0 and 8-1 to the Toronto contingent of the Canadian World Cup squad, as well as 2-1 against the Toronto Emeralds of the Toronto & District League premier division. The four-year regular season unbeaten streak ended the following game when they lost the home-opener 4-3 to Guelph University. But, with the help of Jim Lefkos' 18 goals, the Blues won the next six of the remaining seven regular season games to clinch the West division Championship and a berth in the final against Université de Montréal in Montreal. After three feet of snow covered Montreal on the weekend of Nov 16, the game was almost cancelled. However "U of M officials changed their minds at the last moment, cleared the playing surface of all but six inches of the icey white stuff, painted field markings on the snow (in Blue no less) and the show went on." Still, on a sunny Saturday afternoon, the Blues won the game 12-1, with Jim Lefkos scoring 6 and Soppelsa adding another three, capturing the Blackwood Trophy for a fifth straight time. Lefkos and star-defender and captain Eric Sereda shared MVP honours for the season. In December 1968, a The Varsity headline read "Soccer Title May Have Marked End of Era" as the core of the squad was set to retire. The article contrasted the departing veterans to the new class of players: "the 'down and dirty' the night before and 'up and at em' the next morning veterans are almost all gone. The new 'milk and cookie' players are here. They have a tough act to follow". This was the last time the Blues would win back-to-back OUA (OQAA at the time) titles.[9]
