The Ottawa FURY Soccer Club

In just four years, under the ownership of John Pugh, a former high technology entrepreneur, the Ottawa Fury has developed into one of the leading clubs in North America at the senior and youth levels. The Ottawa Fury strives to provide opportunities for soccer players in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec to realize their potential to play at the highest level possible and to provide players with access to the best facilities, coaching, competition, medical care, and scholarship support available.  Fury teams represent Ottawa in the USL W-League, the USL Men's Premier Development League and the USL Super Y and Super-20 Leagues 

 The W-League represents the highest level of Women's Soccer in North America with many of the best female players in the world participating. In each of the past four years, the Fury squad has qualified for the North American Championship Finals finishing 4th, 3rd and in the past two years losing finalists to the New Jersey Wildcats and the Vancouver Whitecaps. The Fury''s W-League team is currently ranked 9th in the world by www.womensworldfootball.com. In 2006, the team included 12 players who had played for Canadian national teams, and five members of Canada's World Cup squad. The squad had a tremendous regular season (10-1-1) and went on to win the Eastern Conference finals defeating the Western Mass Pioneers and the New Jersey Wildcats in the playoffs. They reached the North American final defeating Charlotte in the semi-final before losing in the nationally televised championship game to the Vancouver Whitecaps. In the past four seasons, the team has a remarkable regular season record of 47-5-2.

 The Fury Men compete in the USL Premier Development League; a league comprising 59 clubs spanning North America from coast to coast. In their inaugural year the Fury squad finished in third place in the New England Division, one short of a playoff place with a 9-7-0 record. Last year, the ream finished with a 7-6-3 record good for 2nd place in the Division. The PDL provides top US and Canadian players under 23 years of age with the opportunity to perform in a professionalized setting during the summer months while maintaining their collegiate eligibility. The League acts as a development league for players seeking to play in the professional ranks.  63 former and current PDL players were drafted in 2006 by Major League Soccer.

 The Super Y-League is a professionalized system that is the first step for developing youth soccer players in North America .  The league is designed for talented youth players destined for collegiate, professional or international careers and has the objective of pitting the best youth players in North America against each other week-in and week-out in league play. Each year, many of the Fury's players are awarded scholarships to play as student-athletes at US and Canadian colleges. In 2006, 12 players (7 boys and 5 girls) joined US varsity programs. The Fury fields teams in the U14 through U20 age groups of the North East Division playing a competitive league schedule against the best teams in the New England Division. In 2005, 2 Fury teams won their Division; three teams qualified for the North American Finals and three teams won their US Club Soccer National Cup regional finals. In the past three years, Fury teams have played against top-ranked US clubs such as DC United, Chicago Magic, Raleigh CASL, FC Delco, Santa Rosa (California champions), Charlotte, Cleveland, Atlanta Concorde Fire, New York Magic, Boston Renegades, Vancouver Whitecaps and California Gold.

 In 2006 the Fury launched an Academy program for players aged 14 and under to provide a new opportunity for talented young players in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec to receive high quality and specialist coaching at the key development ages. Young players, more than any others, need to have access to the highest standards of coaching within a structured and professional development environment to ensure that they have the opportunity to fulfill their talent and potential. The Academy is modeled after the development programs of leading European and progressive North American clubs; i.e., clubs who have their own internal player development pyramid that includes senior teams playing in national or continental leagues.

Development programs, camps, clinics, corporate and individual sponsorship, ticket and merchandise sales, and other fundraising efforts help the Ottawa Fury pay for such things as travel, league fees, equipment, marketing, and administration fees. The Super Y-League teams are currently largely supported by parent contributions.
