This Saturday, September 8, the Men鈥檚 and Women鈥檚 soccer teams will face off against UNB in their season home openers. One CAPER taking the field for the Men鈥檚 team will be fourth-year Bachelor of Science student Jesse MacIntyre, but he鈥檚 not the first of his family to bleed orange. Jesse鈥檚 uncle Mark MacIntyre played for CBU in the early eighties while studying Civil Engineering and again when he returned for his second degree in 1990. For the MacIntyres, CAPERS Soccer is a family affair. 聽
鈥淚t鈥檚 pretty cool knowing my uncle came to CBU and also played on the soccer team. He, along with my cousin Wyatt Scheller and my sister Allie MacIntyre all played soccer for CBU, so I grew up wanting to play for my home university,鈥� says Jesse.
Jesse says his experience at CBU has given him the opportunity to meet people from around the world while learning from excellent coaches and professors. Playing on the Capers has been the cherry on top. 鈥淚t鈥檚 surreal to have guys from all over the world come together to make CBU rise up and be the best university team in the country,鈥� says Jesse.
The CAPERS are looking forward to facing one of their biggest rivals, UNB, on Saturday and starting their season with a big win. Both MacIntyre men will be in attendance, with Jesse on the field and Mark taking centre stage at halftime with his band, Kintyre.
鈥淲hen we were asked to perform during the Men鈥檚 and Women鈥檚 home opener we jumped at the opportunity,鈥� says Mark. He鈥檚 also looking forward to cheering on Jesse and the rest of the CAPERS team. 鈥淚鈥檓 proud to see Jesse on the field wearing the CAPERS colours,鈥� says Mark.
