Day 1 of the Canadian Premier League’s #GotGame Open Trials in Winnipeg has come to an end, with former Canadian international striker Alex Bunbury leading the tryouts at Investors Group Field while data analytics company Kinduct gathered crucial stats on each of the participants.

Now, only 64 of the more than 220 trialists will be invited back for Day 2 in Winnipeg, to play in full-fielded 11-v-11 matches.

Newly-named FC Edmonton assistant coach and former Canada Under-17 men’s national team boss Sean Fleming was on scene in Winnipeg, lauding the trials for providing young players with an opportunity toward professional soccer that players on his rosters didn’t have in the past, and expressing his pleasure with the talent on display, too.

“I think it’s been brilliant,” Fleming told CanPL.ca, of the Open Trials. “It gives kids that dream. We know that maybe a small percentage that will end up having a shot, and maybe a smaller percentage will end up being on a roster, but to have that dream to come out here, I think it’s fantastic.

“The attitude of the players is first-rate – they’re giving it all they have and that’s all you can ask.”

Though it was all or nothing on the field, only 60 trialists will return on Day 2 of the Open Trials in Winnipeg – who might those trialists be? Here’s the first cut list:

Dayton Lehman Goalkeeper Dylan O’Connor Goalkeeper Austin Benevides Goalkeeper Matthew Mozynski Goalkeeper Andrew Guzzi Defender Victor Hugo Gomes de Abreu Defender Connor Ismond Defender Devon Hoier Defender Garmina Paygar Defender Joel Zimmerly Defender Almahdi Al-Baldawi Defender Kyle Moraldo Defender Harrison Davis Defender Kevin Garic Defender Alex Haiart Defender Ndanji Simwinga Defender Joshua Harper Defender Yohann Stewart-Barachin Defender Adam Bromley Defender Taylor Templeton Defender Prince Amara Defender Nile Walwyn Defender Braden Silva Defender Sahand Barazandeh Defender Shiquan Lowe Defender aaron Hidalgo-mazzei Defender Josh Munoz Defender Josue Boutouli Defender Alejandra Vasquez Defender Klenton Stockmon-Willis Defender Josh Marius Midfielder Nassar Ssempa Midfielder Nick Frias Midfielder William Paul Midfielder Alex Alvarado Midfielder Marco Paul Midfielder Temiloluwa Oshode Midfielder John Shehata Midfielder Quincy Aipime Midfielder Abraham Jones Midfielder Andrew Kliment Midfielder Mike Ndubuisi Nkoro Midfielder Luis Ramos Midfielder Daniel Fuentevilla Midfielder Jason Muzvidziwa Midfielder Maxwell Dragojevic Midfielder Alexander Mrena Midfielder Ezequiel Lubocki Midfielder Olufemi Afelumo Midfielder Jibril Yimar Midfielder Ethan Cabral Midfielder Anatoli Leveille Midfielder Jonathan Dodd Midfielder Caden Tomy Midfielder Felipe Ferreira Forward Avery Krishna Forward Dami Adegunle Forward Tristan da Silva Forward Ajiboye Tolulope Forward Daniel Unruh Forward Rungano Kanyepi Forward Tyler Attardo Forward Rinor Hoxha Forward William Brown Forward
