Pretty cool to get a chance to play with his pre-pandemic teammates at halftime of Union/Montreal match on April 23. Very cool to have scored one of the goals in a 2-2 draw!
In February 2022, Louden was finally able to head to the United Kingdom to train (with West Ham and Manchester City youth programs) and play three friendlies against locals clubs in/around London and Manchester (West Ham United Foundation, Egerton Football…
Back before we went to Barcelona in 2019, I put together a little highlight reel of Louden’s soccer highlights. Well, we’re heading to the U.K. next month, so I decided to go ahead and splice together a reel of Louden’s…

What I liked most about this goal — early February 2020 — was the left-footed nutmeg and the slick finish in his third of seven matches on the day. (H/T Matt Mullen for the gif work)
Suffice it to say, our 12-day trip to Barcelona (with a quick stop in Dublin on the way home) was amazing. Louden was invited to train with FC Barca youth coaches for five days, and play four friendly matches against…
