Forge FC returns to Calgary on Saturday, riding a 20-game unbeaten streak in Canadian Premier League play since losing the championship game to Cavalry FC there on Nov. 9.
As four-time league champions — as well as twice runners-up — Forge has a tradition of excellence under head coach and sporting director Bobby Smyrniotis.
But the Hamilton-based side is on a record run this season, which started in early January when Forge players reported to camp ahead of CONCACAF Champions Cup play.
Forge (13-0-7) leads the CPL standings by six points over Atletico Ottawa (11-2-7) and 16 points over third-place Cavalry (8-6-6). And it is rewriting the CPL record book, erasing its own mark of 14 consecutive league games without a loss in mid-July.
And it has kept going.
