Super cool to see the league being so intentional about being involved in the community. Anyone know why the Ottawa team is called Rapid FC? Is there some specific reason for the name that resonates with locals, or is it just a generic name?
According to Wikipedia:
The club’s name, Rapid, was a compromise between traditional North American “mascot” names, viscerality, and geographical context. The geology of the Ottawa Valley, and a “sense of speed and progress”, were described by the club as imagery intended to be evoked by the name
