The York Region Shooters were a soccer team playing in the Canadian Professional Soccer League from 1998 to 2002. They played their home matches in the town of Aurora, Ontario, north of Toronto.
The franchise was one of the original teams of the CPSL. The team had its origins in the York Region Soccer League and were previously known as the York Region Stallions. During its five-year stint in the CPSL the club failed to secure a postseason berth, but managed to develop some top talent for the Canada national team. In 2002, the York Region Shooters were sold by the Bisceglia family to Tony De Thomasis, and merged the club with the Vaughan Sun Devils in 2003.
