There’s more to the story than just needing to free-up a roster spot for Olivier Tebily. That much I’m certain of because Hemming’s spot was not one that Tebily can occupy (Hemming was a Canadian under a developmental contract.)

He’s also been playing some solid soccer for the squad in both reserve games and when called upon to play with the senior team.

This leads me to believe that Hemming asked to be waived and Mo obliged. He’d been falling lower on the depth chart with the recent additions to the team but there’s no reason he couldn’t get more playing time somewhere else.. Hopefully, for the sake of his career and for the sake of Canadian soccer, he’s been offered some first team action somewhere.

Otherwise, not the happiest guy to see him go.
