Who were the Calgary Boomers?
In this week's episode, we review of the Cavs 1-0 victory over Forge last weekend. We also look ahead to the neutral site match this weekend in Kelowna vs Vancouver FC.
Our interview this week is with Juli Sorochan of Callies United of League One Alberta. Juli has also spent time in the Philippines national youth team program. We discuss how her first season in League One is going, her experience in the Philippines program and what are her career goals in soccer.
We take a trip down memory lane and discuss the Calgary Boomers, who were Calgary's first pro soccer team. They played in the old NASL in the early 80's. Scott's new book Here Come the Cavalry! chronicles pro soccer history in Calgary and the Boomers are the focus of the first chapter.
Foothills UWS is on a big California road trip this week and we discuss the matchups. There's also some AMSL discussion and we review how players with a Calgary connection did playing for national teams last week.
