Our interview this week is with Moe El Gandour, who is the captain of the Calgary Blizzard League One Alberta team. This Blizzard team won the title last weekend, and we get a first hand account from him about the match.

Cavalry FC suffered another loss on Monday against Pacific. We recap that match and preview their game against Halifax on Saturday at Spruce Meadows. 

The Calgary Wild are off to Ottawa to play the Rapid on Saturday. The Wild have not played very well against the Rapid, so they will be looking to reverse that trend and get a result. 

We also preview the Women's Inter-Provincial Championships in Sherwood Park this weekend.  The Blizzard will be representing League One Alberta.  We chat about what to expect in this weekend tournament.

The Canada Summer Games starts this weekend in Newfoundland.  The boys soccer tournament starts on Saturday and we talk a bit about the roster and format of the tournament.

We recap the pivotal final weekend of League One Alberta matches.  The Calgary Blizzard won the women's division on Friday evening at Broadview with a win over Villains.  The Blizzard men's team needed to wait until Sunday afternoon to lift their trophy. They prevailed in the final showdown against the St. Albert Impact.  We talk about both matches.

The Calgary Wild played AFC Toronto at McMahon on Saturday.  Their offence showed some signs of life but they weren't able to defeat Toronto, who had one of their goals come from Calgarian Kaylee Hunter.

We preview Cavalry FC's match vs Pacific on Monday afternoon. Typically Cavalry has played well against Pacific and they could really use a good performance (and three points) to snap out of their recent funk.

Also we have a brief Sydney Wathuta update as he's been playing really well for Rapids 2 and recently had a chance to join the senior side.

We recap Cavalry FC's loss to York United at Spruce Meadows on Saturday. For a 1-0 match there seemed to be a lot to talk about, including the stats, York 's current run of form, debuts for a couple of new players, questionable calls and a melee after the final whistle.

In Montreal, the Calgary Wild also suffered defeat by a 2-0 score. The goals they allowed were reminiscent of what Cavalry conceded a couple of hours earlier. The Wild also had a couple of players make their debuts.

No champions crowned in League One Alberta over the weekend. But now the pathway for a Blizzard sweep has emerged. Both men's and women's teams control their destinies, but St. Albert (men's) and Foothills (women's) still have a chance.

We talk about the return of Goteh Ntignee to Cavalry FC. After a couple of seasons in France, he's back to reclaim a starting spot up front. Can we expect a more seasoned player after being in Europe for a couple of years? Or will his lack of playing time in France have affected his confidence?  

Ntignee won't be available for the Cavs match on Sunday vs Valour. We preview this match and discuss Cavalry's domination over the Winnipeg side over the history of the CPL.

Calgary Wild has another home match on Saturday, this time against the Ottawa Rapid. This match could vault the Wild ahead of the Rapid in the table. We discuss the match and what we expect to see this weekend.
