We're back for our first episode of 2026. Training camps for both the Wild and Cavalry will be starting soon, and both clubs are making roster moves.

Cavalry has signed Nate Ingham and Amer Didic, and has said farewell to several players including Shamit Shome. We discuss these moves and speculate on players who could join the team prior to the start of training. We also discuss Tommy Wheeldon Jr's stint with the Canadian National Team in California.

The Calgary Wild haven't made much noise about signing new players yet, but they did announce they are bringing in American keeper Katelyn Talbert. We also found out about the departure of sporting director Alix Bruch. Is Lydia Bedford getting more actively involved in player recruitment and signing? It looks like the Wild are going to retain about 80% of their roster from 2025, which didn't make the playoffs. Should they just be tweaking or do they really need a roster overhaul?

We also provide some updates about Calgarians joining clubs around the world, including Chanan Chanda, Myla and Emma Schneider and Finn Linder among others. And we discuss the results of the Voyageurs Cup draw. Cavalry faces Pacific (again) and the Blizzard go to Montreal to face a MLS club.

After a week's delay we are back covering a wide variety of Calgary related soccer topics. Most of them are regarding player movement.

Goalkeeper Marco Carducci has announced he's leaving Cavalry FC. We discuss his iconic tenure with the club, where we think he will play in 2026 and who could be his replacement at Spruce Meadows. Cavalry also provided a roster update verifying who is under contract for 2026.

Emmanuel Dan-Adokene and Luc Ihama were selected by Cavalry in the recent CPL draft. We talk about what we know about these players (which honestly isn't very much). We also own up to our failed draft predictions.

The Calgary Wild announced that six players will not return for 2026. We speculate on the rationales behind these moves. Perhaps the most interesting player leaving is starting keeper Stephanie Bukovec and we delve into possible reasons for her release.

We also provide updates on a range of players from Mya Jones, Elijah Adekugbe, Bryn Mortensen, Jorda James, Sydney Wathuta and others.

It's the final weekend for the two Calgary teams that made it to a national championship. Both Cavalry FC and the Mount Royal Cougars men's team were faced with snowy conditions in Ontario. Both matches went into extra time and both teams ultimately lost their games.

We review Cavalry FC's 2-1 loss to Atletico Ottawa in a rather unforgettable match especially when it comes to the weather.

The Cougars were a few hundred km to the southwest in Toronto but faced similar snowy conditions. Their match ended in a 1-0 victory for York with a controversial handball call giving the Lions a penalty for the win.
