The journey may be over but the lessons aren’t.

That was the resounding feeling from Cavalry FC boss Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and his squad after their first foray into the Concacaf Champions Cup, which ended on Tuesday after a 3-1 defeat (6-1 on aggregate) against Orlando City SC in the second leg of their round 1 tie.

Wheeldon Jr. caught up with CanPL.ca’s Charlie O’Connor-Clarke after Tuesday’s match in Orlando to get his reaction to the club’s experience in the Concacaf Champions Cup and what they can learn as they prepare to defend their title as CPL regular season champions.
