François Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 what is the source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HamiltonSteelers Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I can only offer this insight... by the way that reads. 1. The CPSL wanted the endorsement of 'top soccer league' in Ontario however 2. the conditions of such endorsement hinged on the acceptance of all franchises and Laval, Brampton Utd., Croatia, Metro Lions and Supra failed whatever criteria. So either the CPSL will ditch those clubs to gain the endorsement of the OSA or proceed as business as usual without the OSA's blessing. I'm going to guess the latter.

David C. Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 In all honesty, what is there to be gained by obtaining an endorsement from the Ontario Soccer Association, especially considering that the league's territory, and future expansion plans, lie beyond the province's borders? Secondly, what unrealistic criteria would the OSA have to not approve franchises with a long history of semi-pro soccer in the province (Croatia and Supra)? This is all very strange news to me.

jay2008 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Not really the cpsl off the field is in alot of trouble right now and to get back on track they need the osa badly as backer.The osa has requirements like it or not these clubs do not meet these requirements.

Luis_Rancagua Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Guys, this whole story has caught me by surprise. What the hell is going-on there at the CPSL???? I always suspected that the CPSL has been in troubled financially for a while, but I never expected this sudden gloomy news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay2008 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Late last summer i heard that they were in much worse shape then i thought.They need the osa for long the long term.If they can not get the osa onboard this league will be gone within the next 2-4 years.

jay2008 Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Don't know where you got the idea its a prov league.like it or not its is called the cpsl.The league is seeking backing form the osa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L.T. Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 Regardless of the name, it IS a provincial league. They need special permission to allow Laval to play - which was denied. to quote the OSA report: Proposal 2005-010 was denied by the OSA Board of Directors. This was an application from the Canadian Professional S.L. to permit the following out-of-province Club to play in its league during the 2005 outdoor season: Laval Dynamites Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 I am sure there is more to this whole business than any of us currently knows. The OSA no doubt has good reasons for it's decisions that are most likely unique to the CPSL situation. Out of province teams competing in provincial leagues is certainly possible on occasion. My son was a member of a youth Eastern Ontario and District Select Team out of Ottawa during the early nineties. The team played in the Quebec elite league in Montreal for three seasons and won it twice as I recall. The only condition of participation imposed by the Quebec association was that the EODSA team understandably could not represent the province at the nationals as was normally the case, this would fall to the second placed Quebec based team.

L.T. Posted February 24, 2005 Share Posted February 24, 2005 That's true, and the OSA has allowed Laval to play in previous years. The point I was making is that permission is required and in this case, was not granted. I hope this is a sign that the OSA wants a professional league that we can be proud of, so they are taking this opportunity to 'cull the herd' and develop something with a strong base. We shall see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
