There is a club in Calgary that is working on getting an affiliation with a European club right now, via their technical directors' connections overseas. Some pretty major clubs too...Aston Villa being one of them.
Essentially it would give that club exclusive rights to any players coming up through the affiliated club in Calgary. It would be a step in the right direction and hopefully give some kids some legitimate options.
Edit: don't want to name the club because I'm not sure it's ready to be public info yet. Could probably confirm via PM if anyone is interested.
