“I want to thank Football Ontario for the opportunity to be part of the organization and for the experiences and relationships I’ve gained along the way.

I’m grateful for the memories, friendships, and everything I’ve learned throughout my time with the organization. I’m excited to watch Football Ontario continue to grow, particularly in the areas of football and sports performance across the province. I look forward to seeing all that the organization and its athletes accomplish in the years ahead. Thank you for everything!” says Zach.
