Pacific FC adds two players, hires staff and partners with Kitman Labs

Facing an early‑season slump, Pacific FC announced a mid‑season overhaul. The club secured striker Shaan Hundal on loan from USL side Brooklyn FC for the remainder of the 2026 season and signed midfielder Max Piepgrass from Cavalry FC on a contract through 2027 with an option for 2028.

In addition to the player acquisitions, Pacific FC appointed three new technical staff members: recruitment manager Will Manning, mental‑performance coach Geoff Hackett and data analyst Nicholas Rovelli. The club also entered a partnership with California‑based Kitman Labs to provide advanced analytics for player recruitment and football operations. Head coach Terry Dunfield said the moves aim to blend “outstanding people with world‑class technology” to create a competitive advantage.

The announcements were reported by several local outlets in British Columbia, confirming the club’s intent to strengthen both the squad and its support infrastructure ahead of the CPL’s mid‑season point.
