Charlie Trafford calling it a career

https://cavalryfc.canpl.ca/article/c...ces-retirement

He was never my favourite player and by the end of 2023 I wanted him gone. Glad I was wrong about that. In 2024 he played his role excellently was a big part of the team. He will be missed.

An increased opportunity for Daley and someone else to step into the midfield behind Shome and Gutierrez now

He said he can make more money growing mushrooms, and I am not kidding.

I'm going to miss him throwing reckless tackles at key moments to disrupt games.

Heard a few months ago that he would be retiring but figured that would be after the season as his contract was expiring then. His farming business has taken off lately and I know they just bought a warehouse.

Good way to go out winning a trophy and scoring against Pumas. Club legend

Love that he's running that business, I've had conversations with him about it in the past and it's a really cool idea; I hope him and his sister see tremendous success doing it. On a related note, would love to see urban vertical farming take off in Calgary; the more we can grow locally and sustainably the better.

Idea for Charlie: provide mushrooms to Spruce Meadows and sell different types of mushroom snacks and foods available during Cavs games! Call the stand, "MyCavalry, MyCology"

I wonder if the injuries he got against Pumas changed his mind at all. Heard he was pretty banged up and maybe the drive wasn't there to rehab again

Yup, this is my belief as well.

When I was back in Calgary last week, I stayed with my sister and her family comprised of late Generation X parents and late Generation Z kids. Although they have cable, none of them channel surfed.

With the way in which media is increasingly consumed, matches being aired on TSN will help but the league should be looking at the Kings League to see how they can effectively and efficiently tap into potential markets.

Another area would be billeting. They've signed some good athletes, but need to place them. They would pay $600-700/month so there's nothing really out of pocket.

Let me know if you're interested and I can put you in touch. Could be for the girls or boys L1 teams.
Bump! I'm helping coach the League One (Foothills) team and we could still use the help with billeting for a few players, in case anyone is interested. Would only be for a few months, and as mentioned, expenses would be covered.

And if you have young kids that like soccer, we'll make sure private training with the player in your backyard or basement is part of the package.

Send a PM if you're interested. It's a really talented group.

Away kit will be unveiled at tomorrow's supporters night. Based on the teaser it looks to be dark green.

Not in the cards for me tonight but I think it would be great to do a CP meetup before a game. Get to Spruce ~45 minutes before the game and do some meet and greeting. I assume we've all met half of us already without knowing it

But what if your IRL persona ruins my perception of your online persona? Not sure I'll be able to recover from that.

5 pm at Kildares is really tough for a lot of people to make. Won't be too long until we can all get together at a reasonable time and location.

Both kits look super classy.

I am glad they've done away with Black.

Sharp kit in the front, gold is doing double duty here.

But on the back, the tramp stamp always bugs me, and this one seems extra large this season for Spruce Meadows.

Also, never a fan of designs that have stripes in the front that don't carry on to the back.

Are there plans for a 3rd kit this year?
