Calgary Chieftains GAA

Last weekend, the Calgary Northstars U18AAA Northstars swung by the pitch to give hurling a try! Great job to all the lads for picking it up so quickly.

We’ll be back out at the Rocky Ridge Athletic Park tomorrow from 2-4pm for another learn to play session. Newcomers welcome!

As quickly as fall snuck up on us, so has the end of our outdoor season. To finish it off, we had a great couple of matches against Edmonton Wolfe Tones GAA Club and only cracked a few skulls in the process! It was also a few of the lads’ last game with the Chieftains, so we HAD to head to St. James Corner for a few farewell pints.

Training will be moving indoors starting next week as we start to prep for next year’s outdoor season and the 50th anniversary of the Calgary Chieftains! Looking forward to seeing everyone there.

As our outdoor season wraps up for the year, we’d like to thank everyone for taking the time to make it out to training. We’ve had some fantastic opportunities to travel and play this year, but it is the weekly sessions out on the pitch with friends that bring this club to life!

With the great turnout we’ve had over the past two weeks, we’re more than ready to take on Edmonton Wolfe Tones GAA Club this weekend!

Please also enjoy the sprinkling of photos us crashing the dancing at the Calgary Irish Cultural Society as a post-training warm down 🤩🤩

Some great snaps from the 2026 ECGAA Championship in Halifax, where Calgary and Edmonton joined up as Team Alberta and made it all the way to the finals! Our Calgary lads had a great run with Halifax through to the hurling finals as well. Massive thanks to the Halifax Gaels and Eastern Canada GAA for organizing such a great weekend and for allowing Team Alberta to take part.

A huge shoutout to goes to Maria as well for refereeing all weekend!

Thank you to Sammons Creative for taking such great pictures.

It has been two weeks since we hosted the 2026 Calgary Invitational and the club is still buzzing!

What an amazing experience it was to have so many teams travel to us and put on such a great showing. Matches were played, fun was had, pints were drank, and new friends were made along the way!

We can’t wait to do it all again next year, bigger and better than ever!
