VICTORIA, BC - At the 2026 U SPORTS Men's Soccer All-Canadian banquet Wednesday night (Nov. 11) in Victoria, BC, Gryphon forward
Ambrose Tinmouth was named a U SPORTS First Team All-Canadian. Tinmouth becomes just the fifth player in University of Guelph men's soccer history to garner First Team All-Canadian honours, and just the 11th player in program history to be named an All-Canadian (either First Team or Second Team).
A phenomenal 2026 season from fifth-year forward
Ambrose Tinmouth, see him earn U SPORTS First Team All-Canadian honours. Tinmouth, the management economics and finance major from Comox, BC, broke out this season as one of the most prolific finishers and playmakers in the country. Ambrose scored the fourth-most goals in the conference with 8 and had the second-most points in the OUA with 13 in 10 matches during the regular season. Tinmouth was instrumental in his team's postseason run, scoring twice against the Waterloo Warriors in the opening round, then finding the back of the net in the team's upset win over the reigning national champion York Lions. The Gryphons, who finished the 2026 OUA season as silver medalists, will now turn their attention to nationals, where they will begin play at the 2026 U SPORTS Men's Soccer Championships on Thursday evening (Nov. 12) when they take on the No. 1-seeded UBC Thunderbirds from Centennial Stadium in Victoria, BC. All games from the 2026 U SPORTS Men's Soccer Championships can be streamed free, online on CBC Sports digital platforms (CBC gem, CBC Sports YouTube). See below for more information on the 2026 U SPORTS major award winners and All-Canadians in men's soccer.
