Few moves this off-season were more shocking than Marco Carducci switching coasts to join the Halifax Wanderers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The 29-year-old goalkeeper from Calgary had been between the sticks for his hometown club since the league’s inaugural season, captaining them to a CPL Shield in 2023 and North Star Cup in 2024. In that time, he also won two Golden Gloves as the league’s top goalkeeper.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But on Saturday, June 6 (7 p,m. ET \/ 5 p.m. MT), Carducci will emerge from the away locker room at ATCO Field for the first time. It will certainly be an odd sight for the Calgary faithful, but also a chance to welcome home a club legend.<\/p>\n
Once the match kicks off, however, it’s all business. Carducci will set aside his personal history in search of Halifax club history.<\/p>\n
The Wanderers have never won a match at ATCO Field, and doing so in Carducci’s return would be a big moment for a Halifax club looking to set new standards under new head coach Vanni Sartini this season.<\/p>\n
Can they finally conquer Cavalry’s fortress? The Calgary club have lost just five times in 42 CPL home games over the past three seasons.<\/p>\n
Will Carducci have a triumphant return to Calgary? Or can Cavalry once again hold off Halifax at home?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tickets for Carducci’s return to Calgary are available here<\/a>. All 2026 CPL matches will be broadcast live on OneSoccer.
