The CMU Men's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Messager Mumbere for the 2024-25 MCAC season. The local talent with CCAA experience will look to be a big presence in the middle of the pitch for the Blazers this year.
A 2022 graduate of Sturgeon Heights, Mumbere suited up with the Huskies for his varsity indoor seasons in grades ten and twelve, as well as his final year for outdoor. The MHSAA "AAAA" school were winners of the indoor Championship division in his grade ten season, and followed that great team campaign with another good season personally, as he was named the Championship division top scorer for his final year in high school indoor soccer.

The CMU Men's Soccer program is very pleased to announce the commitment of Geno Obonde for the 2024-25 MCAC season. The Shaftesbury High School product is taking his talents on the pitch and in the classroom across the street to CMU's campus where he will join the Blazers soccer family.
The fourth signing of the offseason for the CMU men's soccer program, Blazers co-head coaches Anderson Pereira and Gode Katembo are hard at work rounding out their roster for the upcoming campaign. Obonde adds some more versatility to the team makeup, having slotted in primarily up front throughout his career, but has more recently moved to the backline as a steady defending presence for the Titans. The Blazers' newest recruit was the second-leading scorer for his Shaftesbury squad in his first varsity season of Winnipeg Youth Soccer Association (WYSA) indoor league, and this past March wrapped up his final season there, helping the team to a Boys Championship Group semi-finals appearance, narrowly missing out on a spot in the finals thanks to their West-Winnipeg rival across the Assiniboine River Sturgeon Heights Huskies.
