Sounds like we have the joint partnership between CSA and CSME that it should have been all along.
Also......does this mean CPL will still be around in 2037? Cause I'd love to see the end to the "CPL is folding" doom and gloom.

The proposed National Reg System seems to be flying under the radar. Game changer

We really do have to applaud the CSA’s new brass led by Kevin Blue and Peter Augruso, and the relatively-new CSME CEO James Johnson for getting this over the line.
Seems like we’re finally able to properly move forward with this sport!

That 3000m speed skating was electric!! Valerie Maltais with a bronze for Canada going toe-to-toe with the new Olympic record holder. Sad Weidemann couldn’t make the podium but there’s more events to come!

Tough break for Vancouver, but Cruz Azul's goals are coming from isolated incidents, and that's better than being dominated.
Unlucky bounce and big rebound. VFC isn't exactly right in this, but they've shown good life. Need to sort out how to break out down the right.

Forge⚒️0-0🐯Tigres thoughts:
-Forge's pluckiness + creation makes this their most worthy CONCACAF showing yet
-Bertaud was unreal in goal 🔥
-Not a fan of Forge's false 9
-Excited to see more of Oketekoun, though
-Great off-the-ball performance from Forge in midfield

TIGRES GET A GOAL CALLED OFF!!
It's still 0-0. And Tigres fans aren't happy.
Juan Brunetta did well to smash one past Bertaud from close range, but after a VAR check, he was correctly called offside.
Forge has life!

OKETOKOUN ALMOST!
Great little touch to get into space just inside the box, but the shot just isn't placed right
Oketekoun's had an important role in the attack so far in his debut

Didn't know what to think about Dimitry Bertaud - but this guy is super athletic and pretty bold with that kick save. Already looking like a steady No. 1 keeper for Forge.

Ben Paton NEARLY scores for Forge!
Rama with an absolutely fantastic touch over Marcelo Flores on the right flank, gem of a ball but Paton's shot is inches off the mark
Best chance of this cold night so far

🆕 Thierno Bah does not claim to be a star.
He has the award nominations, the performances, but Vancouver FC’s young winger is all about the team.
Now, Bah and VFC are flying into a shock CONCACAF berth.

THE NEW CPL LOGO IS HERE‼️
A big refresh ahead of season 8, with a very clean, Canadian red-and-white look.
I’m happy they’ve stuck with the North Star/maple leaf symbol, and didn’t change it too much.
What do you think of the new logo?

The Dutch defender re-ups through 2026 for a third year at Inter.
One of the best ballplaying CBs in the CPL imo. Fantastic defender.

A lot of players have signed abroad, leaving a ton of open room at the back end of the big board.
Some new names are on the list, but the top has almost no change.

Hojabrpour has an incredible résumé: 3 North Star Cups, 2 Shields, all trophies he was an integral part of.
