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.

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.
