An official with a Quebec girls soccer team has apologized to members of a Mohawk team from Kahnawake following allegations that players on his squad made racist comments during a match last weekend.

Daniel Myre, vice-president of the St. Hubert Soccer Association, on Montreal's South Shore, said he met with players from the under-13 team and their parents Thursday night, and they denied making any racial comments. But he intends to investigate the accusations further, he said.

"What we're going to do is contact the tournament organizer, and I want to speak to the referee that was there," Myre said.

Gregory Brass, whose daughter plays soccer for the Kahnawake team, said he noticed she was angry after the game against St. Hubert.

"She was really, really angry. When I asked her why she was angry, she said they were making featherhead gestures and calling us sauvages," Brass said.

Other players and parents of the Kahnawake team said girls from the St. Hubert side, as well as their parents, made racist comments during the game, which took place in Chateauguay.

Brass said he would like to see the parents own up if they did make the comments.
