Next fall, Piepgrass will be on the field as a freshman with the national powerhouse program."I can't wait," the product of the Calgary Foothills Soccer Club says, while reflecting on his decision to don Caper orange for the 2022 conference campaign. As for why the highly sought-after midfielder selected CBU, Piepgrass says, "The environment drew me."
He also noted the appeal of having an opportunity to attend a smaller university, one that provides a "great sense of community." "It is going to be a great situation for me," he says. His soon-to-be head coach at the U SPORTS level – Deano Morley – says that his Caper program pinpointed Piepgrass as the "No. 1 prospect for his age group in Canada." "We are incredibly excited and proud to have a player of Max's status and quality," the CBU mentor adds. Morley is effusive in praising Piepgrass and his abilities, including his intelligence and technical prowess, along with "great vision and creativity." He notes that his newest recruit has thrived in the "very good environment" he has been part of with Calgary Foothills and Cavalry FC; where culture, discipline, and training habits are vital ingredients to success – much like they are with the CBU men's soccer program.
Before following that career path, Morley predicts Piepgrass will enjoy great success on the pitch, including representing Canada on the international stage. "His future is very bright – and we are so happy that our program is going to play a role in that [success]."
