Welcome to the final episode of Season 2! Today, Mackenzie and Coach Bobby wrap up the season by diving into Forge FC’s 2024 CPL final, their plans for the off-season, and reflecting on the year’s standout moments. Mackenzie also shares highlights from her Banff trip, recaps post-game player conversations, and talks about Coach Bobby’s end-of-season gift! Tune in!

Key Takeaways:

• The Calgary pitch was frozen solid—no flame thrower needed!
• Coach Bobby reflects on this season as one of Forge’s best, rivaling the 2021 campaign.
• Despite preparing for victory, Bobby acknowledges key player absences, like Garven Metusala, Daniel Parra, and a fully fit Tristan Borges.
• He describes the final as a “tale of two halves,” with Cavalry excelling in the first and Forge in the second.
• Subbing in Daniel Parra post-injury carried some risk but was necessary.
• Reflecting on early-season doubts, Bobby notes that while many thought this would be “the end of Forge,” the team’s foundation and resilience proved otherwise.
