Wait, now I'm confused. Where do you see his caps on there? This is all I could find and it makes it look like 3, not 2. Edit: I see it now.

matty Posted January 18, 2019 Share Posted January 18, 2019 (edited) someone on reddit noted justin springer is listed as part of york 9 despite no team announcement. he is also listed as a member on wikipedia and apparently confirmed on twitter by jacques passt, the head coach of his national team saint kitts and nevis. he has 10 caps for them https://twitter.com/coachpassy/status/1070771019336441857 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justin_Springer if true and stkn go to the gold cup (which seems likely) this could be big for cpl optics wise Edited January 18, 2019 by matty Red and White, Blackjack15 and Keegan 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 7, 2019 Author Share Posted March 7, 2019 OK, after a bit of a hiatus, I've updated the original post. I've added Marcel de Jong, Issey Nakajima-Farran, Ben Fisk, Quillan Roberts, Mason Trafford, James Marcelin, Justin Springer, Kareem Moses, and Elimane Oumar Cisse. Obviously Pacific shot up the table with their additions. Edmonton also surpassed Forge, and Valour still doesn't have any capped players. Let me know if you see any mistakes!

I want to see year to year the changes. Both in terms of signing capped players, and players getting capped based on CPL. The other reason I want to stop then is laziness. Here I was thinking we should find a way to force you to update regularly, or just harass you. I personally don't care about comparisons, I want a running total, and it's your responsibility. I hope you are up to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also worth noting that along with Valour, Wanderers are the only other team with no CANADIAN capped players. Which is a bit of a bummer - hopefully CPL helps change that!

It will mostly come down to how busy I am and how much work it turns out to be and how well my interest is maintained. I suppose this period is the busiest it will ever be, so it's possible I can update numbers between international windows. For my own interest I definitely want before and after numbers. Would be nice to know how many caps for players WHILE they are in the league as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While Valour doesn't have any Canadian caps, Galvis was called into the 28 man - national team camp for the Curacao friendly in 2017 but ultimately did not make the game roster.

But also as a way to say great work on that list, it is really interesting and makes us all realise that in spite of the modesty, there is prestige in CPL as well. My question: a few players are Canadians but capped by another country, being not quality enough to make our national team, or perhaps impatient, or perhaps also with allegiances to that other country. So I wonder: should CPL be going after that kind of profile: Canadian, but capped by another country? Is it part of the "league for Canadians " package, or not? I'm thinking of a guy like Miki Cantave who I've followed. Played youth for us, then, after the New Zealand match (not being called in for it) he switched to Haiti and ended up playing that friendly vs. Argentina.

Obinna Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Now that we are developing a base of Canadians with caps in the CanPL, will the national team begin running domestic camps like you see with many Central American countries? I know, there is still distance to contend with, but isn't there value in running B style camps? They don't even need to fall on FIFA dates, per se. Lots of other countries play outside of the FIFA window, right? Now that we have a league with current and prospective internationals, why not us?

Add in the MLS and USL guys, and there's literally no reason why there shouldn't be an annual camp in January. Obinna and Ottawafan74 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing people are getting something out of it motivates me more than if this thread were silent. Don't worry though, I'm not close to the point of feeling obligated, I'll only do it as much as my interest takes me so any feedback is appreciated and considered, but you don't have to worry about feeling like you are giving me a homework assignment As for your question about Canadians capped by other nations, I don't have an answer for that, but I have to admit I had been assuming for a while that they would be using the Voyageurs Cup definition of a Canadian (meaning, eligible for Canada). As long as the number of domestics that aren't eligible to play for Canada is small, I won't be too concerned. Hopefully such a population doesn't grow at a greater rate than Canadians that ARE eligible to play for Canada (or at least, not to the point where it becomes problematic and stunts CMNT growth).

Keegan Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 One guy with senior caps who is still on a free is Stefan Cebara. Does anyone know what happened to him? I can think of a handful of capped Canadians in their 20s who aren’t attached. Guys who have been called to the CMNT but never capped include Awuah, Choiniere, Grant, Gasparotto, Di Chiara, Galvis, Carreiro, Farago. matty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BringBackTheBlizzard Posted March 10, 2019 Share Posted March 10, 2019 You don't get to draft the employment legislation that CanPL operates under. It is crystal clear now that either citizenship or PR status (and probably refugee status as well) is enough to be considered a domestic player by CanPL as the individual concerned has the legal right to work in Canada without needing a work visa. Even Victor Blasco of Pacific FC who there has been some confusion about is now listed as a domestic player: https://canpl.ca/article/rosters-canadian-premier-league-clubs-continue-filling-squads-as-pre-season-approaches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
