Timing is everything and the moment for author Murray Mollard’s book has arrived. Winning Pitch: The Canadian Men’s Soccer Team At The World Cup And Beyond (Harbour Publishing) is the first comprehensive history of the Canadian men’s soccer team and arrives on the eve of the nation co-hosting the 2026 FIFA World Cup in June.
Book signings are Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. at Munro’s and Sunday from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. at Whistle Buoy Brewing Company and at 3 p.m. ahead of the Pacific FC versus Vancouver FC Canadian Premier League game at Royal Athletic Park.
“The book is meant for a wide audience who might not be familiar with the history of the national team heading into the World Cup, but some of the chapters dig deeper,” said Mollard, a lawyer and writer who played on two national-champion UBC Thunderbirds teams, and is a director of B.C. Soccer.
