Tommy Wheeldon Jr. returns as the Head Coach and General Manager of Cavalry FC.

Head Coach and General Manager Tommy Wheeldon Jr. enters his fourth year in charge of Cavalry FC, posting the highest accumulated regular-season points over the previous three CPL seasons combined. The 2019 CPL Coach of the Year has helped create an exciting, high-energy, and intelligent playing identity for the team that plays out of Spruce Meadows. During his time at the helm, the club has reached the post-season play in all three seasons, including winning the inaugural Spring and Fall regular seasons of 2019, along with being the back-to-back Wildrose Cup holders for the ‘Al Classico’ match-ups versus FC Edmonton.  The former Calgary Storm defender now enters his 20^th year of living in the city he now calls ‘home’, and continues to be an advocate for the growth of the soccer landscape in Canada.

Nik Ledgerwood, Cavalry FC’s first-ever signing and recently retired captain, remains with the club as Senior Assistant Coach and Community Relations Manager.

The former Canadian national player has been studying his A-Licence with Canada Soccer in preparation for life after playing. Ledgerwood has been working with Calgary Rangers Soccer Club as an Academy coach as he learns the coaching side of the game. He is passionate about connecting the local soccer community to the professional game, as someone who has experienced this pathway himself. Ledgerwood is stepping into the role that was previously occupied by Leon Hapgood, as the club implements a natural succession plan. As part of his transition into his career after playing, Ledgerwood will also split his time and work in the front office as Community Relations Manager, designed to connect and build relationships with local youth clubs and organizations.

Jay Wheeldon has been appointed as Assistant Coach and Technical Director for Cavalry FC.

Wheeldon joined Cavalry FC in the club’s inaugural 2019 season as a player, where he made 32 appearances over two seasons and was an important part of the side that won the 2019 regular season. In 2020, Wheeldon hung up his boots following the Island Games in PEI to focus full-time on his coaching career, which began in 2012 with Calgary Foothills. During his coaching education, Wheeldon has achieved his UEFA B licence and his Canada Soccer A licence. He will now join his brother Tommy Wheeldon Jr. full-time on the Cavalry FC coaching staff as an Assistant Coach and Technical Director alongside Nik Ledgerwood who has been moved up to the senior Assistant Coach role at the club.

Jake Davis has been appointed as Goalkeeper Coach for Cavalry FC, following coaching within the Houston Dynamo FC Academy.
