As we get geared up for the start of the 2026-27 OUA season, Algoma Men's and Women's Soccer are using the power of our game to give back - Uniting our team, alumni, and the Sault Ste. Marie community to support all of those affected by cancer.

We’re proud to join forces and be part of the Soccer for Cancer movement in support of the Canadian Cancer Society.

Because when it comes to cancer, we’re all on the same team⚽️💪💛
