Just listened for the cebl commissioner podcast where he compares there journey to the cpl.

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.

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.

I love this CEBL concept almost as much as the CPL. Great to see

There model is a little different. Think they have centralized ownership group and selling off franchises as the league grows

I mean, he was working with Alex Bunbury. 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.

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.

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).
