Chill's Silva named to all-PDL squad

A day after learning he was a member of the all-conference squad, Thunder Bay Chill forward Sullivan Silva found out he’s also on the all-league squad.

Silva, who led the Premier Development League with 13 goals and 32 points, is one of three strikers named to the 11-member squad, a group that also includes Reading’s Deshorn Brown and Portland’s Mark Sherrod.

Silva was the lone Chill player to make the grade.

The Michigan Bucks had three players named, including goalie Adam Grinwis, defender Kevin Cope and midfielder Tony Catalano.

Other defenders included Laredo’s Max Gunderson, Seattle’s DeAndre Yedlin and Sebastian Ibeagha of the Carolina Dynamo, who’ll play for the PDL championship at home this weekend against London. Kansas City’s Jordan Green and Kitsap’s Matt Friesen are the other midfielders on the team.
