Not surprised. I think Calgary is long overdue for a team in the same league as Edmonton. We have the size to support it, it is the most widely played sport in the city, and we have a diverse enough population to support a team. Also, Canada recently hosted the U-17 World Cup and are hosting the 2015 Women's World Cup. Seeing as how Calgary is also a sports training mecca (WinSport, U of C), there is no surprise here.
I predict an MLS team in 10-20 years.
