yothat2 87 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Just listened for the cebl commissioner podcast where he compares there journey to the cpl. https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/start-ups-trusting-your-team-w-mike-morreale/id1534432504?i=1000506695564 He later mentions they have plans to grow to 12 teams. St.John and Montreal on there radar. Can't see why the cpl doesn't team in all the same markets. narduch 1 Link to post Share on other sites

St.John and Montreal on there radar. Can't see why the cpl doesn't team in all the same markets. I noticed yesterday that the CEBL Commissioner confirmed that Montreal would be getting a team (details and venue TBA). I have to say, seeing that made me feel more secure about the CPL's future. If the CEBL can keep rolling forward despite being a smaller organization with fewer teams, smaller fan-base, less corporate support, etc. and still make that work in the pandemic, then I think the CPL will be fine. https://twitter.com/Kwabz9/status/1357451989643386880 Link to post Share on other sites

Think they have centralized ownership group and selling off franchises as the league grows Link to post Share on other sites

Shouldn't they have determined by now if there's local interest? I can understand looking for financial backing, but "gaging local interest" at this stage seems to indicate it might not be there. toontownman and The Real Marc 2 Link to post Share on other sites
toontownman 2,960 Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Yeah, does seem a bit from the outside like they are flogging a dead horse. Now is a good time to pick up some disgruntled Impact fans though. Link to post Share on other sites
MtlMario 1,043 Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Patrick Bernier would be a great pick-up for a CPL club in Mtl area but I doubt it would happen (even though he left his assistant coach job with CF Montreal). narduch and Bbeto 2 Link to post Share on other sites
