Cavalry FC played the first leg of their Canadian Championship matchup against the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday evening and suffered a 4-1 defeat. We review that match and preview the return leg on Monday evening at Spruce Meadows. Do the Cavs have a chance? Will Thomas Müller make an appearance in Calgary? We discuss the possibilities.

The Calgary Wild announced they have found their new head coach. Leah Blayney is from Australia and will take charge of the club immediately. We give our first impressions of her selection as coach. We also preview Saturday's match vs the Vancouver Rise at McMahon Stadium.

Our interview this week is with Calgary goalkeeper Leah Parsons. She currently plays in the NCAA at the University of Alabama Birmingham and has also suited up for Foothills in this summer's Alberta Premier League. She has also been involved with Cavalry FC this summer as she has been doing an internship for school.

We review Alberta Premier League matches from earlier this week, including that big matchup between Foothills and Blizzard which Scott and Jason attended. We also preview this weekend's matches, including a doubleheader in Airdrie on Friday evening.
