Chron.com: “Ching will not retire, will report to Montreal team”
Article excerpt:
If the Dynamo listed the most important players to invite to the inaugural game at BBVA Compass Stadium, goalkeeper Pat Onstad and Dwayne DeRosario would be near the top along with team icon Brian Ching.
Ching still hopes to walk out of the tunnel at the opener for the Dynamo’s new stadium, but in the meantime he has decided against retiring. Despite contemplating retirement after he was selected in the expansion draft last November, he will report to camp with the Montreal Impact.
Onstad, who is DC United’s goalkeeper’s coach, and 2011 MLS MVP DeRosario will face the Dynamo when the new soccer-specific stadium opens.
Ching, who scored the franchise’s first goal in Houston in 2006 and the last at Robertson Stadium in the 2011 MLS Eastern Conference semifinals, has decided to put off retirement for at least a year.
“I’ve decided I’m not going to retire,” Ching said after MLS released its 34-game schedule. “I’ll report to Montreal when camp opens.”
