Each are current members of the Cavalry FC U20 development team that was set for their second season in the Alberta Major Soccer League (AMSL), which unfortunately was cancelled due to COVID-19.

It's a great opportunity for these aspiring young players to see the work and dedication it takes to play in the Canadian Premier League." - Martin Nash (Cavalry FC Assistant Coach & Technical Director)
"It's been awesome to train with players I've looked up to and watched and I've recognized the very high standard the club expects. I appreciate the opportunity to play as it has been a goal of mine to play at that level" - Max Piepgrass (Cavalry FC U20 development squad).
