- Plan is to be in PDL 3-5 years to build the base and give local players a chance to take the next step
- Games will be at Hellard. A couple dates may not work out thsi year, and if so, those games would be at Calgary Rugby Park on grass. (My opinion, hell yes that would be awesome!)
- Calgary Foothills is looking to field a W-League team in 2016. Will do the same type of dry run in 2015 as the men's PDL side did in 2014.
- New training ground just outside the city on 6 acres of land. Full indoor pitch, offices
- Some sponsor stuff. They listed 5 active sponsors and mentioned they were looking for a kit sponsor.
- There was a shout out to the Foot Soldiers in the press conference. Good stuff.

Yes!
I think I may have to support this. How do you get tickets?
