Tommy Wheeldon Jr. took a slow lap around ATCO Field to salute the fans post-game Saturday. Even in defeat — and on this day, they suffered the most bitter, losing the Canadian Premier League championship-clincher to visiting Forge FC — Wheeldon and Calgary’s first-year professional soccer club showed top-shelf class. But I think what we’ve seen is we will fight to represent them and we never gave up. But most of all, there’s no taking away the solid base they’ve built at ATCO Field and around Calgary. “I think you’ve seen the passion of the fans out here,” agreed Wheeldon Jr., speaking not only of Calgary but of Hamilton last week and the other five centres in the CPL.
