In March 2026, Connor was diagnosed with a rare form of paediatric Kidney cancer and is currently completing a 28-week treatment plan at BC Children’s Hospital.

Supporter of the Match
Wednesday's Supporter of the Match will be Allan Searle from Rain City Brigade.
Allan has been supporting the 'Caps since the club's first season in 1974, and has been a season ticket holder since the first MLS season in 2011.
He has many favourite memories over the years, but one that stands out is the NASL Soccer Bowl championship parade in 1979, and he still has his signed memorabilia.
The best part of being in a supporters group is seeing everyone at every match.
