Iiczyna has previous international experience in Mexico, Argentina, Italy, Egypt, the U.S. and, most recently, a tour in Brazil. He recently joined Mississauga United of the Toronto and District Soccer League‘s First Division after quitting Hamilton Sparta, another men‘s team. He had played four games for Sparta but found its schedule conflicted with his commitment to the Ontario program. "Taras has to put the complete package together. They (Fleming and Larkin) do the job a little more completely Taras‘ ability is still without question â€"â€" he knows that." They said they couldn‘t believe that someone new to the provincial program (Fleming) was better than someone who has been in it for five seasons (IIczyna). * "I was and still am very, very disappointed," said IIczyna, who was on the initial roster of 21 and is one of the team‘s four reserves. "I am shocked. I knew I should have been on it. I was definitely better than one of them and asâ€"good as the other. The IIczynas have accused Najjar of "favoritism" in his selections but Najjar denied the allegations. "He (Taras) took it personally," Najjar said. "I tried to speak with his parents but they were a bit abusive on the phone. I won‘t even respond to the letter. Najjar, who has been with provincial teams for three seasons and coached at the national level in Trinidad for five years, thinks the thrust of IIczyna‘s displeasure is coming from his parents. "It‘s unfair for the boy to go through this," he said. "One cannot go through life without disappointments. The program doesn‘t promise anyâ€" body anything." "I don‘t see how I could have been left off the team," said the Montreal native, who moved to Oakville three years ago. "I couldn‘t believe it." Iczyna says the experience has soured him on the provincial program and instead he will look towards the national team. A 17â€"yearâ€"old Oakville youth is puzzled and bitter after being left off the final 17â€"man roster for the Ontario soccer team that will compete in the upcoming Canada Summer Games in Kamloops B.C. An Ontario provincial team member for the past five seasons, Taras IIczyna was beaten out for the goalkeeper positions by Gary Fleming, 19, of Mississauga and Jim Larkin, 18, of Scarborough. Iiczyna, a Loyola Secondary School student, and his parents last week sent a letter to the Ontario Soccer Association, the Canadian Soccer Association, Haltonâ€"Centre MPP Barbara Sullivan and the team‘s head coach, Hannibal Najjar, complaining about the selection process.
