The 2019 Cavalry FC season was the first season in the club's history, as well as the first season in Canadian Premier League history.

Overview

On May 17, 2018

Nik Ledgerwood and young talent Sergio Camargo, both from the Foothills.[2] Overall, 12 of the players on the Cavalry squad came from the Foothills. Cavalry's first ever international signing was Brazilian striker Oliver Minatel.[3] Cavalry signed two of its picks in the 2018 CPL–U Sports Draft, first overall pick Gabriel Bitar and fourteenth overall pick Joel Waterman.[4][5]

On May 3, 2019 Cavalry played their first ever game, at home against

2019 Canadian Premier League Finals
.

In the

Montreal Impact.[14] In the first leg of the semifinals, Ignacio Piatti scored twice for the Impact, but Cavalry was given hope when Camargo scored later in the game. It was not meant to be, however, as Cavalry couldn't get another one and Ledgerwood received a second yellow card, forcing Cavalry to play the last part of the game with 10 men.[15] A 1–0 defeat back in Calgary ended the Cinderella story and the Impact ended up defeating Toronto FC in the finals to become the champions.[16][17]

Although Cavalry was already secured a spot in the CPL finals, they won the fall season as well, causing Forge FC to qualify as the other finalist on the basis of having the next best overall record.[18] In the first leg of the finals in Hamilton, Waterman was given a red card and Forge star and CPL top scorer Tristan Borges was given a penalty kick, but it was stopped by Carducci. However, Borges scored ten minutes later and the game ended at 1–0.[19] Neither team could score in the second leg, until in stoppage time when all of Cavalry's outfield players were pressing in the attacking zone, and Forge managed to break out. David Choinière managed to score on the resulting 2 on 0, securing Cavalry's fate as runners up.[20]

Over the course of the season, Carducci and Zator were called up to the Canada men's national soccer team once each, but neither saw action. Carducci was the first Canadian Premier League player to be called up to the national team.[21][22]

Despite losing in the finals, Cavalry finished first overall in the regular season, and Wheeldon Jr. stated that he would like to bring most of the players back for the next season.[23] Wheeldon Jr. was named coach of the year, and Carducci was named best goalkeeper and Volkswagen Premier Performer, while Malonga was nominated for best player.[24][25][26]
