Pacific FC revamps roster under coach Dunfield

Entities: Nicolas Fleuriau Chateau · Terry Dunfield · Pacific FC · Atlético Ottawa · Kitman Labs

Overview

After a three‑week break forced by wildfire smoke, new head coach Terry Dunfield took charge of Pacific FC and saw his first match end in a 3‑2 loss to Atlético Ottawa on July 26, extending the club’s winless run. In early August, Pacific announced a mid‑season overhaul to strengthen the squad and its back‑room support. Striker Shaan Hundal arrived on loan from Brooklyn FC, midfielder Max Piepgrass signed from Cavalry FC, and the club added recruitment manager Will Manning, mental‑performance coach Geoff Hackett and data analyst Nicholas Rovelli. A partnership with California‑based Kitman Labs was launched to provide advanced analytics for player recruitment and performance monitoring, with Dunfield saying the moves aim to blend “outstanding people with world‑class technology” for a competitive edge. A week later Pacific again faced Atlético Ottawa at TD Place and were beaten 3‑2 in a dramatic comeback, with Ottawa substitute Nicolas Fleuriau Chateau scoring the stoppage‑time winner. The roster and analytics changes illustrate Pacific’s effort to reshape its identity and improve results, but the immediate impact on the field has yet to materialise.
