We talk about two massive stories from the Calgary soccer scene this week. Calgary Wild head coach Lydia Bedford resigned from the club to take the head coaching job of England's women's U23 team. We discuss this shocking turn of events and what the Wild executive might do to handle this situation.

Cavalry FC had a more positive story this week in that Ali Musse re-signed with the club. Musse is one of the greatest players in Cavalry history, but his return seemed doubtful at the end of last season as his contract ended. We discuss what led to his return and how that will affect the Cavs in 2026.

Our interview this week is with Jerson Barandica-Hamilton, who is the head coach of the University of Saskatchewan women's soccer team. The U of S team has many Calgarians on the roster and a bunch of them will be joining the Saskatchewan representative team at futsal nationals in Calgary in April.

Bim Pepple keeps scoring for Plymouth Argyle. Will he get the call to join Canada for their upcoming friendlies? We talk about it.

It was a bit of a quiet week in the training camps of Cavalry FC and the Calgary Wild. Several players are away on international duty, and we talk about some of their upcoming matches.

Our interview this week is with Cavalry FC player Nate Edwards. He signed with the club after spending the last couple of years with Toronto FC II in MLS Next Pro. We talk about his career, how he ended up signing with Cavalry and where to expect him to line up on the pitch.

We discuss Calgarian Bim Pepple's fantastic goal scoring form as he got a brace last weekend, giving him 8 goals in his last 9 matches. Rumours are starting to swirl that bigger clubs are taking notice. There's also whispers that he's on the verge of being called up to Canada's men's national team.

We also discuss the announcement of Darrem Bowman as new Foothills men's coach for the Alberta Premier League. He has a very impressive resume.
