The report says Major scored in both substitute appearances against Manitoba. She struck a game-winning free-kick in Calgary’s 2-1 comeback victory, then added a long-range goal in a 5-0 win in the return match.
That immediate impact gives Calgary another attacking option without requiring a full-match role. Major’s scoring has arrived at decisive moments, and the Dinos may be tempted to increase her minutes if either home fixture becomes tight.
Her form also raises a selection question: does she remain a high-impact substitute, or has she done enough to earn a starting opportunity?
The report describes both visitors as having mixed opening weekends:
Calgary swept both opponents over the same weekend last season, reportedly completing its first double sweep against Alberta and MacEwan since 2021. That history gives the Dinos a clear benchmark, but the two fixtures should not be treated as identical challenges. Alberta’s response against Regina points to a team capable of tightening its defensive shape, while MacEwan has already shown it can score freely in the right matchup.
The report says Calgary’s men are 2-1-0 and will face Lethbridge Pronghorns on Saturday before meeting MacEwan again on Sunday. Jacob Hunter, Josiah Walter and Josral Frederick reportedly helped the Dinos build a 3-0 lead in their previous meeting with the Griffins, while Walter contributed a goal and an assist.
Field hockey also begins its home schedule, with Jenn Wishart starting her tenure as head coach against Victoria Vikes on Saturday and Sunday.
The immediate storyline remains Major and Calgary’s women’s double-header. Friday’s meeting with Alberta will reveal whether the Dinos can turn an unbeaten opening into sustained home momentum.
