Tommy Wheeldon Jr.,Coach,GM

Tommy Wheeldon Jr., originally from Liverpool, has signed a new contract to continue as the coach and GM of the CPL's Cavalry FC in Calgary until 2026. His decision to move to Calgary was influenced by a chance encounter with Calgary Storm owner Mike Vandale, who connected with Wheeldon's father during a visit to England.

A chance encounter prompted Tommy Wheeldon Jr. to leave England in 2002 to play for the Calgary Storm of the now-defunct A-League.

The two chatted and with Tommy Wheeldon Sr. going through a divorce, he was open to a move. Later that year he visited Calgary and got a job as the Storm's technical director. He eventually joined the Calgary Foothills club, then in 2018 he was hired to build Cavalry FC at the ground floor. His father eventually returned to England.
