CNS is very proud of Derek Brust who is playing in this year’s Canada Summer Games in Winnipeg. Derek is playing forward for Team Alberta. And it has been fun watching Derek on TSN and influence his team’s success – assisting the game winning goal against Manitoba to get them all the way to the gold medal match.

Derek plays for the CNS Hurricanes Boys U17 Tier One team, coached by James Armstrong, and has been doing so since u10. Congratulations Derek, we are very proud of you.

The Canada Games are this country’s largest multi-sport event for young athletes and in 2017 will celebrate their 50th anniversary and acknowledge Canada’s 150th birthday.
Derek will rejoin the CNS Hurricanes following this tournament to compete in Alberta's Bu17 Tier One Provincials competition. Good luck to Derek and the CNS Hurricanes.

Congratulations to Eldon Kearl, who won the Gift of Flight with Westjet!

HUGE thanks to Steve Oldridge for the incredible donation of his employee privilege to our team.  Our raffle raised approximately $9,600 in profit for our team and this would not have been possible without Steve's donation.  We will be presenting Steve with a thank you gift in Minnesota, as he will be there with his daughter's team.

Thanks again to all our players and their families for selling tickets and promoting our team so politely at the retail outlets. We had several compliments on the girls' manners and kindness.  One elderly lady was taken aback when the girls offered to help carry her groceries. Great work CNS Fiore!

Hello NorthSide Soccer Families,

This tribute is to honour one of the founding members of Calgary Northside Soccer, Madeleine Loughery, who passed away on October 11, 2016, after a long courageous battle with breast cancer. Madeleine started in Edgemont Soccer and she was one of the initial people who brought Edgemont Soccer, Hamptons Soccer and NorthStar Soccer together. With her hard work, Calgary Northside Soccer was formed. Madeleine had a way of quickly figuring things out before the rest of us and a certain fearlessness. As she would wait for us to catch up, she would point us in the right direction, show us easy steps to get things done, and she would move on to the next loose end that needed looking after. She had endless energy and resourcefulness in solving problems, and she immediately became one of our strongest Calgary Northside Soccer volunteers. Madeleine will be deeply missed by many from her Calgary Northside Soccer family.

Madeleine Eva Clara Loughery, of Calgary, was surrounded by her beloved husband Jim, and adored sons Ken, Ben and Oliver. Born in Mönchengladbach, Germany, she was the daughter of Irene Druy and the late Guido Thomas. Graduating with a Masters in Economics from Universität MÜnster, Germany, she worked to become the youngest Vice President in BHF Bank in Frankfurt, Germany. After marrying and having three sons, she became a volunteer leader in Le Leche League helping new mothers until moving to Calgary in 2004.

Madeleine became an active volunteer in local schools, Edgemont Soccer, and the Calgary Northside Soccer Association. In 2011, she became the Manager of the Calgary Women's Soccer Association which she enjoyed immensely. Madeleine's passions were family, community, gardening and tirelessly volunteering. Madeleine is survived by her husband, Jim; three sons, Kenneth, Benjamin and Oliver; mother, Irene Dury and one aunt, Inge Thomas both of Germany; two brothers, Mark (Ulla) and JÜrgen; two step siblings, Michael and Sylvia; mother-in- law Muriel Loughery; brother and sister-in- laws George and Sharon Loughery, Diane and Allan Cameron, Sharon and Doug Fillmore; nephews, Jamie Cameron, Christian and Kevin Stricker; nieces, Sarah and Sophie Fillmore. She will be fondly remembered by her many kind and wonderful friends, neighbours and colleagues. Photos, memories and condolences may be shared with Madeleine's family at www.evanjstrong.com. For those who wish, memorials can be made to a charity of your choice.
