A League of Her Own, is a documentary series that followed our Algonquin Wolves Varsity Soccer standout player Kassandra Da Cruz throughout her season. The documentary is set to premiere on Bell Fibe TV1 on Thursday, May 21st, and we’re planning a local premiere event in the Algonquin Commons Theatre on Friday, May 22nd. This screening will be a community-focused event – including a red carpet, screening, and Q&A – bringing together the Wolves players and staff, other teams featured in the series, and members of Ottawa’s broader soccer community.
About The Series:
Set in Ottawa and hosted by former elite player Krista Marchand, A League of Her Own follows players, coaches, and rising athletes navigating a game that has long lacked a clear professional pathway – just as that reality begins to change. With unprecedented access to the Algonquin Wolves women’s program, the series centers on athletes like Kassandra Da Cruz, whose journey reflects the tension between long-awaited opportunity and the pressure of what comes next.
Through a multi-generational lens, the series weaves together:
The past – a generation of women who played without a professional future
The present – athletes like Kassandra, an Algonquin College student competing at a critical turning point in the game
The future – 12-year-old girls now growing up in a system where a pathway finally exists
As the sport evolves, the series expands beyond the field – capturing the coaches, leaders, and systems working to support a game that is being redefined in real time.
Please note this event is invite only.
