Cosmos Officially Partner With Hinchcliffe Stadium & Roster Moves!
It was a busy "housekeeping" episode of Cosmos Country as hosts Jerry Calla and Jimmy Whalen caught up on the latest roster moves, club partnerships, and upcoming matches.
Here are the key takeaways from the May 11, 2026, broadcast:
Team News & Roster Moves- New Signing: The Cosmos have signed goalkeeper Javier Garcia from AC Boise to help shore up the back line following injuries to other keepers.
- Goalkeeper Depth: With Garcia joining, the team currently has four goalkeepers, including Boris Del Valle, who serves as both a player and the goalkeeper coach.
- Departure: 17-year-old Julian Locker and the team mutually parted ways as he decided to pursue his education and play soccer at Princeton University.
Club Partnerships & Youth Development
Jose Angulo, the head scout and head of youth development, met with local coaches to discuss growing the Cosmos' network. Highlights of this initiative include:
- Educational Opportunities: Training sessions and clinics for local travel clubs and high school coaches.
- Cosmos Cup: Plans for a future tournament to be held at Hinchcliffe Stadium.
- Local Focus: Angulo emphasized that the club’s long-term plan remains focused on building the squad around local talent paired with USL experience.
Pride Night Announcement
The Cosmos announced a major partnership with the historic Stonewall Inn.
- Official Partnership: The Cosmos are now the official soccer club of the venue.
- Pride Night Match: Scheduled for Saturday, June 6, at Hinchcliffe Stadium against Hartford Athletic.
- Special Kits: The team will wear limited-edition Pride jerseys and warm-up gear for the event.
Upcoming Match: Westchester FC
The Cosmos travel to Mount Vernon this Friday at 7:00 PM for a USL Cup group stage match against Westchester FC.
- Players to Watch: The match features two of the league's top scorers: the Cosmos' Spangler and Westchester's Connor McGlynn.
- Potential Rivalry: The hosts noted that while both teams were ranked low in preseason polls, their geographic proximity (roughly 30 miles apart) is quickly turning this into a spirited rivalry.
Fan Giveaways & Merch
- Ticket Giveaway: The podcast is giving away two tickets to the May 27 home game. Fans can enter by following the show on Instagram, subscribing to their YouTube channel (Mile Twenty One Media), and tagging two friends.
