The Airdrie Field Turf Project Society (AFTPS) announced their first fundraising event of 2022 last weekend – the Airdrie Elite Football Coaches Clinic.

“We’re playing really well,” said Xtreme head coach Tyson Soloski. “We have a really good team and a lot of depth. Everyone on our team contributes, and it’s really fun to watch. But we come to work every day in practice and in games, and that’s why we’re winning right now.”

According to head coach Crystal Fletcher, the successful showing in Red Deer marked the Sting’s second gold medal of the 2021-22 season, as the squad also took first place at the Edmonton Silver Ring tournament in November.

Christmas came early for Cobras football centre Jacob Patterson and defensive halfback Tate Pickard, who were selected for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent Team Alberta against B.C. teams in Langley Dec. 20-21.
