Off with the Sounders Academy U-17's at the GA Cup Tacoma Defiance forward Ocampo-Chavez is dominating.

In March of 1893, the life of Jack the Bear suffered a tragic ending. In the middle of one of his regular Pac Ave strolls, a patrolman unfamiliar with Jack's legend shot him three times in the side with his police issued revolver.

"If they show up, if they earn it, it’s available," Tacoma Defiance coach Chris Little on what Leyva's signing means for remaining Defiance players.

In each of his four starts in 2019, winger and Defiance Team Captain, Shandon Hopeau, took the reins of leadership. Not the eldest player, nor with the most professional experience, the young man from Kapolei, Hawaii wears the armband.

Forward Shandon Hopeau returns to Sounders FC 2 in 2018 for his first full season with the USL side.

When Azriel Gonzalez signed with S2 in July 2017 at just 15 years old, he became the youngest player in club history signed to a professional contract.

Midfielder Ray Saari joined the Sounders development program in 2017 and flourished in his rookie campaign with S2. He's back in 2018 to lead the USL side in their first season at Cheney Stadium.

Former Seattle University star and local product David Olsen returns to continue his development with S2 in 2018
