All season long, CanPL.ca reviewed key performers from each Canadian Premier League match, giving due credit to players who impressed over 90 minutes. Now, we offer this one last look at standout performers for Cavalry FC to bring a close to an exciting second CPL campaign.
Cavalry FC went down swinging. Finals 2019 participants in the Canadian Premier League's inaugural season, Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and co. travelled across the country to PEI as serious contenders. A strong core retained from the Spring and Fall winning-side was complimented by additions in some important roles; strong, physically-imposing strikers (Jair Córdova, Marcus Haber) and ball-playing, defensive-minded positions (Robert Boskovic, Elliot Simmons). Several first-stage high points, including an emotional last-gasp victory over York9 FC, now York United, sent the Cavs into the second round. Injuries hampered their progress from there, though several players managed to shine through the unfortunate ending. Without further ado, here are Cavalry FC's three key performers from 2020.
