gotta see clubs like Edmonton Scottish, Calgary Foothills, TSS FC Rovers & some Sask team joining the league!

Any league with the plans to be D2, I hope they are prepared to be nation wide. 

East and West divisions.

That plus opens up the road to promotion and relegation down the road. Otherwise, this all would be pointless

Report: Rovers, Highlanders, Whitecaps Academy Opt Out Of Rumoured Second Division

Rumours of an independent second division have picked up momentum over the last few months, with speculation mounting that a semi-professional national league could feature up to twelve teams, regional divisions to limit travel costs, a neutral site championship, and a 2022 launch date.

Today, Northern Tribune has learned from a trusted source that the TSS Rovers, Victoria Highlanders, and the Vancouver Whitecaps (in terms of fielding an academy team) have all opted out of the rumoured second division, suggesting that these sides may be destined for League1 BC instead.

I don't hate this news. The D2 league is/was an exciting idea, but so are more D3 leagues. I previously thought the best way to get a D2 would be to promote up into it from D3 leagues. Not sure how stable a D2 of teams looking to either fold or move up would be.

On the latest Northern Futbol podcast Nef said that this thing is being shelved for the time being.

What is being worked on is a Prairie D3 league to be at the level of L1 Ontario/ BC.

That's what they should have always been working on. This proposed "D2" league was unnecessary and counter productive to a lot of what is being built.

100% agree - let CPL/CSB/CSA take care of it as planned and avoid unnecessarily cannibalizing fans at the pro level (D1/D2).

Top 3 Tier needs to be planned out in advance cohesively
