Summary

[edit]

In preparation for the 2017 season general manager Kiril Dimitrov acquired the services of Krum Bibishkov as a Player-coach.[2] Scarborough continued its policy of recruiting overseas talent in order to bring more depth to the roster.[3] Throughout the majority of the season the team battled for the fourth position standing, until achieving a five game undefeated streak at the end of the season in order to clinch that berth. Their overall success saw the club finish in the top four in best offensive and defensive records with Aleksandar Stojiljković winning the CSL Golden Boot.[4] In the first round of the postseason they faced Brantford Galaxy, and advanced to the next round after a 6-2 victory.[5] Scarborough made club history by defeating FC Vorkuta by a score of 1-0 to make their first CSL Championship final appearance.[6] Their opponents in the finals were York Region Shooters, where Scarborough was denied the title after a 5-4 defeat in a penalty shootout.[7]
