Halifax Tides FC Announces New Leadership Team and Player Lineup for 2026 Season
Halifax Tides FC, a team in the Northern Super League, has appointed Ruth Fahy as vice-president of football and Stephen Hart as head coach. Hart took over as interim coach in June, replacing Lewis Page, with the team struggling in the league standings. The Tides finished last in the league's inaugural season with a record of 3-15-7. Fahy, who previously worked with the Colorado Rapids in Major League Soccer, brings a wealth of experience and a vision for the club's future. The club is looking to build on lessons learned from the previous season and move forward with clarity and confidence. Hart, a seasoned coach with experience at the national and club level, will lead the team with a staff that includes goalkeeper coach Mark Haynes, assistant Katie Barrott, and physical performance coach Gary Ohanessian. The team is also looking to add a second assistant coach and analyst to the coaching staff. Key players returning for the 2026 season include goalkeeper Anika Tóth, defenders Annika Leslie, Addy Weichers, Eva Fremaux, and Julianne Vallerand, midfielders Karima Lemire and Megumi Nakamura, and forwards Saorla Miller, Syd Kennedy, and Tiffany Cameron. The team is gearing up for the upcoming season with a renewed sense of purpose and determination.
