Mya Jones returns home and signs for the Calgary Wild

The Calgary Wild made a big splash this week by signing Calgarian Mya Jones to a contract. Jones is considered one of the best women's soccer players the city has ever produced. We talk about her potential impact both on and off the pitch.

The Wild signed former Montreal Rose Allie Hess and introduced their new goalkeeping coach, who makes the move from Spruce Meadows to McMahon Stadium. Meanwhile, Cavalry FC announced their own new goalkeeping coach and a tryout for a Ukrainian right back who fled the war and has been living in Edmonton. We also have info about Wild and Cavalry call ups for the international window.

Our interview this week is with Daler Tokhirov. He's part of a trend that we've been seeing the last couple of years where Calgarians continue their soccer careers in Australia and New Zealand. Tokhirov played last season in Australia and has now signed for Petone FC in New Zealand. We ask about what it's like to make this big move and what his career aspirations are over the long term.

We also have updates on a few more players, including Bim Pepple and his fantastic form in England where he's scored 6 goals in his last 8 matches.

In our latest episode:

Cavalry FC and the Calgary Wild continue their preparations for the 2026 season. The Cavs signed a couple more players in Nathaniel Edwards and Curtis Ofori. We talk about how they fit into the club. Can Edwards perhaps be Fraser Aird's replacement?

Meanwhile, the Calgary Wild announced the signing of GK Molly Race and they have a couple more signed players that haven't been announced yet. That would mean they have 23 of 25 roster spots filled. We talk about what types of players they should be looking for to fill those final spots.

We also chat about the Vermont Wild, who are a newly announced team in the WPSL, which is a women's amateur league in the United States. Their logo and use of an owl seems very similar to the Calgary Wild. Are they an affiliated club? Or should we expect some Calgary intellectual property lawyers to start making some calls to Vermont?

We also provide some updates about Calgarians playing soccer around the world such as Sebastian Dzikowski, Elijah Adekugbe, Charles Nana, Willie Akio and Adam Huskic.
