He seem to be a self-made figure, printing a soccer mag. on his own while in college in Canada... I pulled some data.
My name is Mehrdad Masoudi. I worked with the Canadian Soccer League for three seasons; 1990 1991 and 1992. During that time and specially the last season, Mr. Hoyle worked with the league as an auditor. I worked very closely with Mr. Hoyle in those years. In my first professional position in the soccer world, I learned a great deal from Hoyle. He was a caring individual with deep passion for what he did. He was a father figure to me, then a new immigrant to Canada. I moved from the C.S.L. to the Canadian Soccer Association, IMG in London (UK) and now Doha, Qatar in different capacities in world football ...

But just ask Carleton student Mehrdad
Masoudi when his last night out was
and he cringes to remember.
Besides being a computer science major
and holding down two jobs, Masoudi is a
full-time magazine publisher. No small
wonder he has no free time.
The 25-year-old native of Iran, disen-
chanted with media coverage of his
impassioned Ottawa Intrepid - or lack
thereof - lobbied both Ottawa dailies for
more soccer exposure.
When he was turned down, he worked
like a maniac, dug deep into his pockets
to invest $800, and launched his own
monthly chronicle, the International
Soccer News.
The Soccer News is a 24-page newslet-
ter which Masoudi writes, sells, produces,
markets, and advertises for, virtually all
by himself.
