Aaron's parents describe his development:
"Aaron ended up with the Sounders. The Kovar family can look back with fondness at all the years with ECFC. I look back at my kid's soccer skills and know where they developed. Aaron just made it on the U-18 Men's National Team Pool. I think he is the only kid from the Pacific Northwest. Win a spot on the 18 man roster or not, we are so very proud of him and all the work he has put into his passion for all these years. I am (speaking) to acknowledge to Emerald City FC the huge role the club has played in his development.”
-R. Kovar, parent of ECFC alumnus Aaron Kovar
