  • Who are some of the brightest young prospects on Cavalry FC?
    May 16 2025

    We preview the Cavalry FC vs Pacific matchup at Spruce Meadows on Saturday as well as the Calgary Wild vs Montreal game at McMahon on Sunday.

    During our Cavalry segment, we talk about the development of the young prospects on the senior side. In our League One Alberta segment we continue that topic with Francesco Bartolillo, who is the new head coach of Cavalry FC U21 team. He talks about how he returned to his hometown after spending the last decade in BC, what it's like to coach the youngest team in League One Alberta and what are the goals of the U21 side - winning or development or some combination of both?

    We also talk about some League One results, Kaylee Hunter representing Canada again, the AMSL season begins and there's a big CMSA tournament on the weekend.

  • Games galore and the end of an era as Foothills WFC leaves UWS
    May 1 2025

    We talk about the Calgary Wild’s first ever win last weekend in Halifax. Cavalry FC stumbles in CPL play but dominates in the Canadian Championship. Both pro clubs play a bit earlier than usual so we moved up our release date so we could preview both team's matches.

    We chat with Cedric Bovon, who has recently taken on two new head coaching positions. He's taken the reins of the Calgary Blizzard's women's League One Alberta team and the University of Lethbridge Pronghorns.

    It's the end of an era as Foothills WFC will not return to UWS in 2025. We reflect on the legacy of the club and how the high performance soccer landscape has changed in Calgary over the UWS era.

    In our last segment we've got a pretty big announcement to reveal that we're quite excited about.
