They really should push the Edmonton game to Saturday or Sunday? Seems more than unreasonable to have a cup game on the 14th and then a game on the 16th as well.
I would think so, and hope so. August is looking jam packed now. Two matches every week for the entire month.
On a related note, and word on a new date for the Forge match on July 30th? Just watch the league try and drop it into August as well... Maybe that was the delay in picking a new date: keeping those dates available for the next round of the Canadian Championship, just in case.
Looking at August now, I think they'll have to wait until September.
The first 3 months of Cavalry's existence could not have gone any better. Winning the Spring season, knocking out an MLS club in the Voyageurs Cup and producing a genuine buzz around town.
Also, I think there's a new soccer bar in Calgary...

Very exciting and a huge moment for Calgary soccer in Cavalry FC's first season.
Feel like the team is really starting to gain momentum in Calgary as well. Personally starting to see more hats and merchandise around the city, you hear people talking about it more and more, and it's great to see.
Huge props to Tommy Wheeldon Jr. for continuing to put together a great program on the pitch, but also doing a great job to promote the team off the pitch.
Tickets for the Impact game are available for season ticket holders. Mine was the same price as the Whitecaps game. Time to pack Spruce Meadows again...
I'll probably do the same and get tickets right as they are available next week, but I wonder if they will do the same as the Whitecaps and release tickets at random times. I feel demand will be big enough that they don't need to make this artificial lack of supply, but who knows.
I'd count on it. They will probably hold some back for any special deals or the half seasons/flex packs, then release those late as they go unfulfilled.
Makes pre-sales tracking a bitch, let me tell you.
Good article on Dominick Zator, and how the CPL gave him a chance at a professional soccer career. This is why the league was formed, so that players like him who were previously overlooked or not considered could get a chance.
Now he's scoring the winning goal against the club who released him, and Pasquotti is being targeted by that same club (when 6 months ago they probably didn't know who he was).
Dominick Zator could be sitting as an accountant in an office somewhere today. Crunching numbers and perhaps thinking back to what might have been. He’d certainly be making more money than playing football in the Canadian Premier League.
Instead he sits today as a history maker and a match winner after one of the most memorable nights in his fledgling footballing career.
That doomsday scenario was very close to becoming a reality for the former Calgary Dinos standout. Seven months after signing his first pro deal with Whitecaps 2, the club wound up operations, leaving Zator as one of a number of players wondering where their footballing futures lay, and even if they had one.
“There were those doubts going through me head,” Zator admitted to AFTN. “I had my degree from the University of Calgary, so the other option was to be an accountant and have that office job. I didn’t know what I was going to do.”
But from despair and disappointment came opportunity back home in Calgary.

Was there any pricing difference between the Whitecaps game and regular season? I'm planning to hopefully catch the Impact game in August as my first Cavalry FC match.
