Canadian Soccer League
Encyclopedia
The Canadian Soccer League (CSL) is the top soccer league in Canada
and is controlled by the Canadian Soccer Association
. It was formerly known as the Canadian Professional Soccer League (CPSL), and was officially re-branded on May 17, 2006. CSL teams do not currently participate in the Canadian Championship
, which determines the Canadian entry into the CONCACAF Champions League
, as the league is considered the Third Tier of semi-professional/professional soccer in the Canadian soccer pyramid
.
The Canadian Soccer League also operates a reserve league, the CSL Reserve Division
, which is the top reserve league in Canada.
The forerunner of the CSL, The CPSL itself played its first season in 1998 by amalgamating four teams from the Canadian National Soccer League
namely St. Catharines Wolves
, North York Astros
, London City
, and Toronto Croatia
with four (4) expansion franchises (Mississauga
, York Region Shooters (1998), Glen Shields and Toronto Olympians).
The (CSL) has a history going back to 1926 as the National Soccer League (NSL).
In 2006, the change to the CSL was more than merely a cosmetic alteration. An international division was added, a new set of rules, regulations and a new constitution were established, the schedule format was changed, and the relationship with the OSA and QSF was upgraded.
In early 2008, the CSL and the OSA established a "Memorandum of Understanding" which provided the CSL with an increased level of autonomy and independence from the governing body. This is expected to facilitate the league's expansion efforts.
The CSL season runs from May through to October The climax of the season is the CSL Championship Final, which takes place in October after an 8-team playoffs competition.
The CSL is the top level soccer league within Canada. However four Canadian clubs play in higher leagues based in the United States
– Toronto FC
and Vancouver Whitecaps FC in Major League Soccer
, Montreal Impact
and FC Edmonton
in the NASL
.
The CSL has appealed to the CSA for its league champion to be added as the 5th team to the CONCACAF Champions League tournament
as qualification is restricted to the winners of the 4 team Canadian Championship
which they have not been permitted to enter.
The league was re-branded and managed by former Hamilton Bulldogs (AHL) president, Cary Kaplan
(First CSL Commissioner), and veteran soccer executive Stan Adamson (Executive Director) from its inception. Following the completion of the 2009 season, Cary Kaplan stepped down as Commissioner after serving five years.
2007 saw the debut of the Trois-Rivières Attak, replacing the existing Laval Dynamites
franchise. The team is the junior/reserve side for the Montreal Impact USL First Division team. In 2008, Toronto FC
of Major League Soccer
, and owned by Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment, entered their Academy Team (TFC Academy) into the CSL. As a result, the CSL is now affiliated with two of Canada's top three professional soccer franchises: Toronto FC
and the Montreal Impact
.
On May 12, 2009, the CSL formally announced that they had received conditional approval to be in membership with the Canadian Soccer Association
(CSA), as Canada's national professional league. The vote by the CSA Board was Unanimous by all provinces and territories. This the first league to receive this endorsement from the CSA in 16 years.
Following 4.5 years as Commissioner, and having achieved a Television Contract with Rogers; Membership with the CSA; partnerships with Toronto FC and Montreal Impact, establishing a Reserve/Second Division and a re-branded league as the CSL; Cary Kaplan resigned following the 2009 Championship Game.
The Brantford Galaxy SC, were added as expansion team in 2010, along with Hamilton Croatia and Milltown FC, although the latter two teams folded following one season in the CSL.
In an unprecedented CSL championship game, two expansion sides, Hamilton Croatia and Brantford Galaxy SC, competed for the 2010 title on October 31, 2010 with the Galaxy crowned champions.
Shortly following the completion of the 2010 final, Domenic De Gironimo announced his resignation from the league after only one season at the helm; citing irreconcilable differences.
Vince Ursini, who previously was Chairman of the former CNSL/CPSL until 2004, returned seven years later in the same capacity in early 2011. Mississauga, Ottawa and Windsor were all added to the CSL under Mr. Ursini's watch, making the leagues membership at 14, the highest in several years.
