"We wanted a name which could be identified with Canada," said Blizzard president Paul Morton, "a name which could meet the perception of Canada held by most North Americans and Europeans."

"It suggests strength and force, which is what fans look for in a good soccer team."

Blizzard Warning!

Welcome to a site dedicated to soccer Toronto Blizzard style.

Originally the main goal of the site was to head up a campaign to bring back the Blizzard name for the recently acquired Major League Soccer franchise but quickly developed into a full blown tribute site to a franchise that graced the Toronto sports scene for all too short a time.

In addition to the usual historical data, the site will bring together a collection of photos, memorabilia, player profiles and if possible interviews with former Blizzard players and personnel.

Contributions to the site - photos, stories, whatever will be gratefully welcomed and attributed.  You can contact us at editor@canadakicks.com .
