The Ottawa Fury Soccer Club are proud to announce that current U17 Boys player Norbey Putt-Ryan will be leaving Canada at the end of the season to pursue his soccer dream in the U.S.A.  Putt-Ryan will attend Shattuck St. Mary's college prep school in Faribault, Minnesota,  with an eye on garnering a collegiate soccer scholarship upon graduation.  At the school Norbey will be a part of their Centre of Excellence for soccer and play on the U17 side.   Shattuck St. Mary's is part of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy network and boasts training facilities and programs similar to those for the U.S. Soccer U17 Men's National Team Residency Program.

In their final year of SYL eligibility, the Ottawa Fury U17 boys were looking to bring home the gold in this year's North American Finals.

With the USL Super Y-League Finals just over a month away, the Fury are preparing to send five teams to vie for a national championship.  The U17 Boys edged their way into the competition in a two-group New England Division to book their ticket to Tampa, FL.

The U17 Boys' 2009 season is far from over after the squad qualified for this coming November's SYL Finals to be held in Tampa, FL.  The finals visit will cap what has been a very successful season for the team which went 5-3-3 during the regular season. 

Congratulations go out to Zachary Drake (pictured) who is the 2009 U17 Boys MVP.
