Training camps have begun for Cavalry FC and the Calgary Wild. We also saw the release of the CPL and NSL schedules this week.

Cavalry held their open tryouts last week and Jason had a chance to watch some of the action. He also did a short interview with technical director/assistant coach Jay Wheeldon about these tryouts.

Cavalry announced some roster moves with the signing of midfielder Harry Paton, who is the 100th signing in club history. The club also announced the transfer of Callum Montgomery and the official departures of Fraser Aird and Nicholas Wahling. We talk about what the addition of Paton could mean for the midfield and speculate about who could replace Aird at right back.

The Calgary Wild announced the departure of GK Jackie Burns. We also analyze the high level of continuity that most NSL teams have going into the league's second season.

The Canadian national futsal championships are coming back to Calgary in April, Kendall Showers leads her club to new heights in Greece and we track down a couple more Calgarians playing overseas.

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.

In our final new episode of 2025, we review our picks for top Calgary soccer stories this year. We both picked our top five stories and four of the five were the same. So we decided to include make it a list of the top six, which we recap in chronological order.

We also look ahead to 2026. We talk about some of the stories we are expecting to follow and we also make some predictions for the new year.

We expect to be back in late January or early February once we get close to Cavalry and Wild training camps. If some really big news happens, we will come back sooner to discuss.
