The Simon Fraser Red Leafs men's soccer team is a Canadian university soccer team that represents Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia. They are the only Canadian university soccer team to compete in the NCAA, after joining the NCAA's Great Northwest Athletic Conference for the 2010 season (2010–11 school year).
