About Jody

Jody was one of the most beloved members of not only Vaughan Soccer Club but the community as a whole. Having been with the club since 2008, most recently since 2016 as the Long Term Player Development Director, Jody brought enthusiasm, passion and a big smile to the soccer field and the community each day.  He selflessly gave his incredible energy, passion, sacrifice, kindness and passion to so many. So many loved him because he defined what giving love was. The former York University Lion left us suddenly in December 2020 but his legacy lives on through his son, family, former players and the community of Vaughan.
