Calgary Blizzard Soccer Club is a Canadian soccer team based in Calgary, Alberta that plays in the women's division of League1 Alberta.
History
The club was founded in 1967 with a team of 11 and 12-year-old boys, who represented the province of Alberta at an Expo 67 soccer competition in Montreal, and upon their return, they adopted the name of a defunct Canadian Junior Football team (North Hill Blizzards) and became an official club. In March 1977, the club was registered as a Society in the Province of Alberta.
In August 2019, they received the National Youth Club Licence from the Canadian Soccer Association, which recognizes the highest achieving organizations from across Canada and must adhere to a set of standards for club and player development. However, in January 2022, their national youth license was revoked due to player recruitment infractions.
In 2023, they joined the semi-professional League1 Alberta, operating a team in the women's division. During the 2023 League1 Alberta Exhibition Series, which was run in advance of the league's formal debut in 2024, the Blizzard finished second in the regular season stage, before defeating St. Albert Impact in the championship final on penalty kicks.
