MLS Draft 2012: Toronto FC Selects Aaron Maund With No. 12 Pick
Jan 12 1:03p by Jeremiah Oshan
Read More: Toronto FC
In dire need of some quality defenders, Toronto FC went a little off the board to select Notre Dame's Aaron Maund with the No. 12 pick of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft. Maund did not really shine in the combine and was not considered a first-round talent by many draft analysts, but he is a solid player with the ball at his feet and could be useful for Aaron Winter.
Maund was a four-year starter at Notre Dame, starting at least 18 matches every year. Considering how much trouble Toronto FC had on defense, there's plenty of reason to think that he'll get the same opportunity there. That he was a decent passer should help his cause, as Winter looks to build from the back.
Maund has also played at a relatively high level, appearing in the U20 World Cup in 2009 and for the U17 World Cup team in 2007.

GIVE A KID A CHANCE TO PLAY SPORTS!
Playing it Forward with Jack Rubin-U13 Boys
A member of the NSU family - Jack Rubin on our U13 Boys team - is leading a project over the next month to collect new and gently used sports equipment to be distributed to disadvantaged kids in partnership with a Massachusetts charity called Playing It Forward. Many disadvantaged kids who want to play sports can't because their families don't have enough money to buy the equipment needed.
- Soccer balls and Cleats
- Baseballs, Gloves, Bats and Cleats
- Basketballs and Basketball shoes
- adolescent girls who have suffered trauma in their lives and play a team sport
- inner city school (in Boston area) that cannot afford equipment for gym class or team sports
- kids in MA who are in an obesity program who must remain active through athletics
- child centers and orphanages from Massachusetts to Mexico
Most of the kids they reach do not have much, so something as small as a ball truly makes a difference. You can help this great cause by donating your new or gently used equipment. We have a collection box set up in the alcove near the NSU office at the arena where you can drop off soccer, basketball and baseball equipment that your sons or daughters no longer use. I ask that you look around your house and check with your neighbors for items to donate. You'll be cleaning out closets while making a difference by helping disadvantaged children be active and healthy, and allow them the opportunity to participate in team sports.
