Atletico Ottawa kicked off its Canadian Premier League season against the Halifax Wanderers Saturday afternoon at TD Place.
The home opener was a "Pay What You Can" game for fans, with a portion of each ticket sold and part of the 50-50 proceeds donated to CHEO.
"It’s been a long cold winter to wait for soccer to return and the first game it’s summer weather," Benhin said. "We are going to win at least one trophy but I’m going to say we win everything."
