One Club. One Family.

For five decades, the KC Trojans Soccer Association has been at the heart of Edmonton’s soccer community — developing players, building leaders, and creating lifelong connections through the beautiful game.

From our very first team in the 1970s to today’s elite player development programs, KC Trojans has grown into a respected cornerstone of soccer excellence. We are proud to celebrate 50 years of passion, performance, and progress — and we’re just getting started.

Our story begins with Father Michael Troy, founder of the Knights of Columbus Trojan Soccer Association. Born in Ireland and trained in Switzerland, Father Troy came to Edmonton in 1964. More than a respected cleric and educator, he was also a passionate athlete in soccer, rugby, and track.

In the mid-1970s, Father Troy formed the first KC team with graduates from St. Joseph’s and Archbishop O’Leary High Schools. His vision was simple yet powerful: to create opportunities for youth to grow through sport, guided by values of discipline, teamwork, and respect.

Under his leadership, KC was incorporated in 1979 and quickly became a leader in Edmonton’s soccer landscape. Today, we proudly continue his legacy as a founding member of the Edmonton Interdistrict Youth Soccer Association and as part of the Edmonton Minor Soccer Association (EMSA). Father Troy passed away in 2010 at the age of 92, leaving behind a lasting impact on countless players, coaches, and families.

KC Trojans has always been more than a club. We are a family and a community — united by our commitment to developing athletes both on and off the field.

• Elite Player Development – Preparing athletes for the highest levels of play with advanced coaching, professional training environments, and opportunities for exposure.
• Community Spirit – Fostering values of sportsmanship, respect, and teamwork that last far beyond the game.
• Enduring Tradition – Honoring the past 50 years while embracing innovation to shape the next generation of champions.

As we look forward to the next 50 years, we remain dedicated to being a place where dreams take root, talent is nurtured, and leaders are made.

Here’s to the next chapter in KC Trojans history — together, stronger than ever.
