Was slightly frustrating to not be able to watch this one! Hopefully a good qualifying campaign and a WC birth will get more of these games stream-able for fans.

Yeah which is great. But that is still 66% success rate... Just thinking if this team went on a run it would never be in question as to whether or not a game would be watchable.

Would be down to see some kind of one game knockout system similar to the MLS. Would be great to get some more high-stake games in the league. Especially at these early stages of the league
If it means getting rid of the stupid spring-summer crap then go for it but 3 teams maximum and #1 hosts the final after #2 hosts #3 in the round before.

I would be down for something like that. I don't want them to stray too far away the European model, ideally we have an out in out winner from the season.
I'm hoping the new format for the Canadian Championship wills scratch the itch for knockout tournaments.

Here is how we are lining up. CPL's Didic get's his first start, also hoping to see an appearance from Borges!

CPL getting close to a deal in Ottawa. Also Joel Waterman becomes the first CPL player to be bought by an MLS side. Cavalry to Montreal!

The new team in Ottawa is interesting, people are twitter are saying a LaLiga team owner is bringing the new team to Ottawa.

Yeah that's the main report. Would definitely be interesting.
I don't think Canada would supply to good of a pipe line for a La Liga team but it would give the ownership team another level to loan/scout from.

Yes it would be really cool. The rumor is that it's Athletico Madrid, I'm not sure I understand why they would be interested in investing money in Ottawa but for us (the fans) it is really fun. If the league keep doing well (with investor like this it should) they will probably loan us player in the futur.

Not confirmed yet, but there are rumours of them joining.
It will happen at somepoint, hopefully sooner than later

I think if they had the money it could be set up pretty quick. They already have the infrastructure and the schedule is yet to be set for the CPL season.
They would likely just miss out on the Voyageurs cup at this point since that is already set.

This is an awesome partnership for the CPL and Canada soccer. 21st club has been a revolutionary thinker in terms of scouting, analytics, and overall management in world football. Hopefully they can help our nation and league progress even further.

So many mixed feeling on this one. Sad I'm not going to watch Borges week in and out anymore, however this is a sign the league is doing what it was made to do. A young Canadian going into Europe, OH Leuven is vying for promotion. Cool to see them pick up a Canadian to help with that difficult task
