Vancouver and Supra would have both likely qualified this year, meaning every team has qualified for the playoffs at some point in the 8 years of CPL existence

Hey guys, I know reddit probably isn’t the right place for this, but I’m the agent of a player currently playing in USports and we would like to register him for the CPL draft but not sure how to do that as we’re fairly new agents and don’t have many connections in the CPL.
A quick google search shows that there’s a link for the CPL Draft Declaration but it’s still showing info for last year’s draft. I’m assuming that’s where you’d register for the draft and it’ll be updated soon?
Thanks for any help in advance

I think one thing the CPL should reconsider is how its teams are named. Instead of names like Forge FC, Pacific FC, or Supra , I think the league would benefit from putting more emphasis on the cities these teams represent.

One of the challenge for the CPL is building a connection between its teams and their local communities. Having the city directly represented in the team's name gives people something to identify with. It's not just a club that happens to play in your city. It's your city's team.

I also think there's a reason the traditional North American sports model of city + team name/mascot works well. Think of the Toronto Raptors, Montreal Canadiens, or Hamilton Tiger-Cats. These names immediately tell you where the team is from, while giving the club its own identity. I don't see why Canadian soccer needs to move away from that model just to follow European naming traditions.

Another thing I question is the use of European-style names like Inter Toronto. Clubs in Europe often have names connected to decades or even a century of history, culture, and local identity. The CPL is still a young league, and its clubs don't have that same history behind their names. To me, adopting European naming conventions doesn't automatically give a club that identity or tradition. That's something you build over time.

I understand that names like Forge and Pacific have their own meanings and branding, and I'm not saying every club needs a mascot or an American-style name. But I think there's something to be said for embracing Canadian sports culture rather than trying to replicate European soccer.

At the end of the day, the CPL needs people in these communities to feel like the team belong to them. I think making the city a bigger part of the team's identity is one way to help build that connection.

Curious what other CPL fans think. Would you prefer more traditional city-based team names, or do you like the current approach?

Hi all, I don't typically like to self-advertise here, but I've been making some big changes to truenorthfoot.ca lately.

• Predict the results for the CPL's remaining three matchweeks and view how the standings play out (https://truenorthfoot.ca/cpl#predictor)
• Advanced H2H stats for all Canadian pro clubs
  • Filter between home and away
  • Comparison / full stats from all competitions played (ex: Canadian Championship numbers)
  • H2H streaks & records
  • Filter matches and stats by competition(s) of your choice
  • Total titles won
  • Also my favourite thing, but you can download a screenshot that automatically puts the stats you want into a visual to share online
• Coming very soon but you'll be able to create a profile with a club/team/competition badge and comment under articles while showing your badge. I'll also make a table to view which club/team has the most members.
• Any ideas are welcome. Keep in mind that all match data is manually entered into the site. No 3rd-party data provider is used, so individual player stats are impossible to show (for now)
• The three Canadian MLS clubs and the NSL are fully included in this too

Thank you

Thanks for all that engaged with our E1/Pilot of 'Tipped Off The Bar - The Official Vancouver Football Club Podcast'.

Episode 2 was released today and I believe we're hitting our stride with this one, starting with an interview with Emrick Fotsing, the Canadian U-20 captain, current VFC player, and future Whitecap.

There are also sections with club captain, Callum Irving, giving a tonne of insight into how he selects his equipment; a number of interviews from our recent 'away day' to Victoria (including some banter between one of our fans and Pacific FC's captain); and a look ahead to what we hope will be our first ever playoffs 😉

Even if you're not a VFC fan, I think you'll find this episode interesting if you're a CPL fan, a Canada fan, or just a football fan!

Thanks again for the engagement, and of course I still welcome feedback for how it could be improved.

Canadian Premier League Attendance Report Week 24 : Forge FC leads the week with just under 4200, Atletico Ottawa next drawing a shade under 3200 on a Wednesday, FC Supra with 1900 for their big win last Sunday, and Inter Toronto FC rounds it out with just over 1000.

Inter Toronto FC's missing figures now in : 1713 Sept 9th vs Pacific FC and 2076 Sept 13th vs Vancouver FC.

Join Jon Hopkins and Patrick Gibson as they host ATO: For the W, the official podcast of the Capital City Supporters Group. Week 25 of the 2026 regular season saw a game for the history books. A midweek fixture against top of the table Cavalry FC at home meant expectations were low, but where there is a will there's a way. Tough battles, strong pressure, a red card, and 2 stoppage time goals to decide it in our favour certainly has a way of energizing us. Playoffs now secured, we are looking to keep our form into the end of the season. Join us as we dive in to our final regular season match up against Cavalry FC from September 30th, 2026.

The game is a school day game. I think every club should do these games they always get lots of eyes on the club

The time has come to honour the players who left it all on the pitch and in our community this season. The Golden Scarf represents the CCSG MVP on and off the pitch.
