Description

Welcome to the final episode of Season 2! Today, Mackenzie and Coach Bobby wrap up the season by diving into Forge FC’s 2024 CPL final, their plans for the off-season, and reflecting on the year’s standout moments. Mackenzie also shares highlights from her Banff trip, recaps post-game player conversations, and talks about Coach Bobby’s end-of-season gift! Tune in!

Key Takeaways:

• The Calgary pitch was frozen solid—no flame thrower needed!
• Coach Bobby reflects on this season as one of Forge’s best, rivaling the 2021 campaign.
• Despite preparing for victory, Bobby acknowledges key player absences, like Garven Metusala, Daniel Parra, and a fully fit Tristan Borges.
• He describes the final as a “tale of two halves,” with Cavalry excelling in the first and Forge in the second.
• Subbing in Daniel Parra post-injury carried some risk but was necessary.
• Reflecting on early-season doubts, Bobby notes that while many thought this would be “the end of Forge,” the team’s foundation and resilience proved otherwise.
