NSXI - Interview with Vancouver Island FC Inaugural Signing Alexis McKinty

Are you talking about Pasquotti? The guy from Lethbridge?

Ottawa team to play CPL 2020 fall season, according to this. They won't be part of the Canadian Championship.  As @Blackdude says in the "new teams speculation" thread, Lyon is looking at something similar in Quebec (City?).  

I think most of the foreigners in low-paying leagues like our would prefer to be somewhere else - some are just better at hiding it.

Not having clubs from other leagues doing this sort of thing was the obvious missed opportunity at launch to get things up to a more sensible number of teams. Good to see it happening.

This has the potential to be great for both Tristan and the CPL. Really rooting for him!

With all due respect I think he is limited in terms of his ability on the ball. He’s kind of like Tosaint Ricketts in that way, but even Tos is better with the ball at his feet. He’s good at finishing though, so if he gets service he can put the ball in the net. I hope he has a good season. If he can score +5 MLS goals I think that qualifies. The year he scored 9 was a bit of an anomaly, but he should be getting more than 2 a year if he can stay fit. As for the national team, I think he has his work cut out from him, but a return is not impossible if he can score goals this year. All the best to him!

Lyon is looking at a team in Quebec City per Jeremy Filosa.

There's still time for something to happen, but so far they've upgraded one position (Cavallini at striker), brought in a new winger who's a questions mark (Dahone) and spent the rest of their time locking up components or adding back ups for a team that finished 2nd to last in the entire league.  I'm not at all optimistic for this season. 

Exactly....from such great heights.....such a fall!!  Although coaching U sports in nothing to sneeze at, maybe we'll see him coaching in CPL...then it will be a redemption story.  

I hope it goes really well for him there.
