Earl Cochrane, director of team and player operations for Toronto FC, is one of three people appointed today to the board of directors of the Canadian Soccer Association.

Cochrane served as TFC's interim general manager for the close of the 2010 MLS season, following the high-profile dismissal of coach Preki and original GM Mo Johnston.
Also appointed to the board were two women:
Karen O'Neill is a former CEO of Commonwealth Games Canada and COO of the Rick Hansen Foundation.
Dr. Wendy Bedingfield is a Professor at the School of Recreation Management and Kinesiology at Acadia University.
In addition, sitting board member Steven Reed has been chosen to fill the vice-president slot which came open when last month Victor Montagliani was elected CSA president.
Nominations Committee chairman Paul Varian has just confirmed to me that Reed's new position opens the door for a fourth appointed director, and that name will be announced shortly.
More details to follow soon.
Onward!
