In Calgary Foothills news, the entire USL League 2 NW division has withdrawn from the league for 2020 given the difficulties with cross border play and the coronavirus situation. Right decision in my opinion, given the short season and uncertainty over the next few months.

As for what this means for 2021, unfortunately I think this spells the end for the 3 Canadian clubs in the NW Division. With the anticipated de-sanctioning of the BC clubs in USL League 2 in favour of BC League 1, I just don't see how Calgary Foothills continues playing in the league. Would be sad for myself given that Calgary Foothills is what launched the supporters scene in Calgary, but that club always seemed unsustainable.

There are rumours that Calgary Foothills, TSS Rovers and Victoria Highlanders are talking with other clubs in Western Canadian about starting a Division 2 league to fill the gap, but nothing official.
