  • Who will return to Cavalry FC's roster in 2025?
    Nov 22 2024

    The CPL season is over for 2024. We kick off our offseason coverage with some speculation about who could be on the pitch for the club in 2025. We've compiled a list of players under contract, players with a club option for 2025, those out of contract and a few that we aren't sure about.

    The UBC Thunderbirds won both the men's and women's USports championship this month. Both sides feature a lot of Calgarians but we focus on the men's team in this episode. We interview Noah Hrdlicka who discusses his Calgary roots, winning a national title and what comes next in his career.

    We continue to follow the NCAA postseason including the Maine women's club. We've also uncovered a Calgary connection to the University of Vermont men's team which has advanced to the second round of their tournament.

    Our last segment is a review of how Calgarians are doing in European leagues this season. Goteh Ntignee, Bim Pepple, Dominick Zator, Scott Kennedy and Victor Loturi are all mentioned. In this segment we speculate: could Canninga Elva be planning a return to his hometown Cavalry in 2025?
