Think you know your favourite WILD player? Think again.
Behind every jersey is a story, one of grit, grace, and togetherness. This podcast goes beyond the
game, diving into the lives of Calgary WILD FC players and supporters to uncover the
experiences, values, and passions that shape who they are. Because when you know the player,
you feel the game differently.
With a mission to build a deeper connection between the club and its community, The Wild
Journey gives fans a front-row seat to powerful, purpose-driven stories that inspire and uplift.
Every journey tells a story, and at Calgary WILD FC, those stories define who we are.
