DTES ladies heading to Homeless World Cup for Soccer

Five Vancouver women and their children are at the heart of an international movement using soccer to address the stigma of homelessness
When she saw nothing but black flesh and the raw, exposed tendon where her middle finger should have been, Paula Armstrong reached her breaking point.
The blond, one-time high school track star and long jump record-setter from Winnipeg, was as good as dead, she told herself. Crack was the culprit.
“That was it for me,” Armstrong said last week, 12 days before she joins the first Canadian women’s team to travel to the Homeless World Cup and play soccer in Paris, France. “I looked at myself in the mirror, I said, ‘Paula, you’ve lost your finger to this drug, you’ve lost your teeth to this drug. What’s next? Nothing’s next but death.’”
Death wasn’t for Armstrong, who now takes pride and even glee in recounting the story of her amputated finger, this time as recently as last weekend for her teammates and coaches after practice with the Vancouver Street Soccer League.
They’re grotesque and riveting, the details of her rotting flesh and the decay that nearly took her entire right hand. Also engaging is the story of her affluent, white-collar criminal ex-husband. When he went to jail, she headed west.
More engrossing than the gore or the gossip, however, is Armstrong herself. A vigorous hand-talker, who wears a white bandana to keep fine hair and sweat off her forehead during a Sunday soccer scrimmage at Strathcona Park, her eyes are rimmed with a flirtatious smudge of mascara and no rouge can recreate the natural flush on her cheeks. She’s as alive as she once feared dead.
It over simplifies Armstrong’s accomplishments to claim soccer as her salvation. She sought treatment, committed to sobriety and embraced the holistic program at the Rainier Hotel, a women’s residence with 41 suites operated by Vancouver Coastal Health and the Portland Hotel Society where she detoxed on a methadone program and embraced the virtues of harm reduction. It’s where she heard about a soccer program and where she now makes her permanent home.

Milan Lucic x Welcome To Eastvan x Stanley Cup
Big congrats to Milan Lucic.
He’s brought the Stanley Cup back to Vancouver and represents his home, Eastvan.
Welcome To Eastvan made some t-shirts exclusively for Milan and his posse using the Black and Yellow colors with Lucic #17 on the back.
According to media reports last week, Lucic’s plans for a public cup event were curtailed, perhaps due to some bruised feelings of some Canucks fans.
Lucic had five goals and seven assists in the post-season to help the Bruins to their first Stanley Cup since 1972.
Some behind the scenes shots of the t-shirts being made.
