  • Can SAIT's women's team win a national title this year?
    Sep 27 2024

    This week, we interview SAIT centre back Natalie Girvitz. She talks about her career from Blizzard to UBCO and now to SAIT. The Trojans women's team is undefeated and expects to be a contender for the national title.

    An undermanned Cavalry FC went to Toronto and defeated York United in a match with big implication in the standings. We also preview this Saturday's match at Spruce Meadows vs Vancouver FC.

    The MRU men's team and the Dinos women's team both made their way back into the national top 10 rankings. We chat for a bit about Crowchild Classic 2.0 which is happening on Saturday afternoon at Mount Royal.

  • Which Calgarians could don the Wild jersey next spring?
    Sep 20 2024

    The NSL will likely start announcing player signings soon. We speculate which Calgarians could be offered pro deals and came up with a list of five possibilities (and a few honourable mentions).

    Dinos midfielder Aislin Phillips is our interview guest this week. Aislin played for UBC for three years but made the switch to the Dinos this year. She talks about her return to play university soccer in her home town and being reunited with her Blizzard coach Diogo Raposo.

    We discuss Cavalry FC's 2-2 draw with Ottawa and their match this week vs York United. This York match will have huge implications for both team's placement in the standings. There's also some U Sports mens soccer and SAIT action to review.

  • Is Shamit Shome Cavalry FC's unsung hero?
    Sep 13 2024

    Shamit Shome has quietly had a solid season with Cavalry FC. He has been in the starting lineup every week but has moved positions as needed to cover for injuries. In our interview, we ask him about his versatility, what it's like to move from Edmonton to join the Cavs and his long relationship with head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr.

    Is Jay Herdman joining the Cavs on loan from the Whitecaps? The New Zealand international (and John Herdman's son) is rumoured to be on his way to town. We talk about this possible loan and also preview the Cavs match vs Ottawa this weekend.

    The U of C Dinos women's team demolished their opponents by a combined score of 18-2 last weekend. The MRU Cougars men's team is playing much like how Cavalry started their season. We talk about these topics and more in our post-secondary segment.

    We wrap up with news of Scott Kennedy's transfer to a Belgian side and a new tournament organized by CMSA that's happening this weekend.
