Canadian soccer legend Domenic Mobilio was a very inspirational player, coach, and friend to many people in our community. His loss has been been felt by soccer players and fans across the nation.
We strongly encourage the Vancouver Whitecaps and Simon Fraser University to honour Domenic's extraordinary career by adopting a special commemorative address at the soon-to-be-constructed soccer training facility at SFU's campus in Burnaby, British Columbia.
As Domenic's name is synonymous with the Vancouver 86ers - predecessors to the current Whitecaps club - it would be a very fitting tribute if the new training centre were to bear the address “86 Domenic Mobilio Way.”
Domenic and his fellow Vancouver 86ers were recently inducted into the BC Sports Hall of Fame, and rightfully so. Their astonishing 46-game undefeated streak over the 1988 and 1989 seasons was a virtually unheard of accomplishment for any professional sports franchise. The sucess of the Vancouver 86ers made Domenic and his teammates household names.
"86 Domenic Mobilio Way" would be one more permanent tribute to a very talented individual who will be missed dearly by fans, players, parents and coaches alike.
Sincerely,
The Undersigned
