Our 13th Captain of the Match, Pat Seaward!

Pat hails from a small beach town in southern Maine, where he was introduced to soccer-making lifelong friends while traveling all over the seacoast for games and tournaments. 

For Pat, there's nothing like playing soccer in the crisp New England air surrounded by the spectacular foliage. 

While he played just about every sport growing up, his love of soccer always persisted.

When Pat first arrived in New York he worked in the Television and Film industry in the location department.

In addition to seeing so much of the city, it allowed Pat to meet and work with some incredibly talented people over the years.

Not to mention that he can personally attest, after working on "Somewhere In Queens", that everybody does in fact love Ray Romano. 

A childhood friend of Pat's introduced him to NYC Footy in 2017 and from the very first game, he knew this was the league for him because of the warmth and the community he felt on and off the field. 

Fast forward to 2023, Pat is now the captain of that team he joined back in 2017, and helps to create that same warmth and community that drew him to Footy in the first place.

As the years go on and teammates move, start families, go back to school, and change jobs, the friendships and the milestones Pat has been able to achieve and share with teammates and friends alike have remained.

Pat Seaward is one of those rare few people who brings a sense of ease, kindness, and humble grace with him wherever he goes-moment to moment, making the world a better place. 

Pat: "I'm proud of my team and this league for being filled with wonderful people that I've spent sneakily 1/7th of my life with."

We're proud to have you as part of the NYC Footy family as well Pat. Cheers to the first 1/7th with Footy and here's to many more.

Thank you Captain Pat!
