The big thing for me is the fact that there is a battle for third place. I think that battle will be good for the competition within the middle of the pack.
Exactly and unless you are really bad it's much easier in soccer to climb back the standings with 3pts for wins, compare to 2 in hockey and often times 1 for a loss... If you go on a winning streak you can come back really fast and for fans and neutrals there's nothing better than seeing two teams play for the 3pts.

Another thing I really like is the League having a Friday night game each week. Just seems like a good tradition to start, adds some consistency to the schedule which seemed random last year.

For York 9 fans it is especially nice as they have a lot less conflicts with TFC games.

Yes another great idea.

Whatever happened to Cyle Larin? Orlando was forced to sell him to Turkey and he was never heard of again.

He is actually being linked with a move to Leeds at the moment and is not having a terrible year. He definitely took a step back and likely moved to Turkey too early. Still has a chance to progress though and get into a better league.

When is the season starting in CANPL?
April 11 with Cavalry @ Forge. Should be a good way to kick things off. Later that night Pacific is home to Edmonton, which is another good match up due to the signings they made in the summer.

Do we know the schedule on CBC?
Not yet. They said they will have more games this year (who knows what that means). I personally won't be using them as every CPL season seat holder got a free OneSoccer subscriptions. Hopefully they give better service than they did last year.

Waterman with an instant impact in the MLS. Great to see the CPL standout fitting in the MLS:

Apart from one mistake that could have led to a goal he's been excellent. Very nice to see.

When I saw the match was a 3pm KO and who TFC was playing at BMO at 7:30pm I went completely bonkers because my wildest dream came true: A Forge-Metro Doubleheader!!!!!!!!!!!!

Didic staying in the CPL for another year. With his success last year and his national team debut I wouldn't be surprised if this is last year in the league, my guess is there will be suitors from else where if his trajectory up continues.
