Daniel Krutzen announced his departure from Forge FC on Sunday, ending one of the most successful tenures in Canadian Premier League history thus far. “It’s been an incredible ride these past 4 seasons,” Krutzen said in a message to people he described as his Forge family on Instagram. “From playing my first professional minutes, to winning 3 championships in 4 seasons, to going 11 rounds in penalties against an MLS team, to qualifying for the Concacaf Champions League, to tearing my ACL, only to come back and captain the team to its third championship. It’s been an honor to say the least.” Krutzen went on to thank his teammates and coaches, as well as the Forge fans, and said that he’ll continue to cheer the club on from a distance. > [

Another unforgettable moment from Krutzen was his 90th-minute winner for Forge in the 2020 Concacaf League over Panamanian side Tauro, a goal that gave them a spot in the quarterfinals of that competition. He’d also score in the quarterfinals against Haitian club Arcahaie, but Forge would bow out of that competition on penalties.
Here’s a look back at some of Krutzen’s other great moments with Forge FC.
