Kent Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) Whitecaps have home games through the whole tournament. Luckily the team that ended up with a path with no potential home games is the team that opted to not host any games (Mont-Royal Outremont). My CPL team (York United) can't host before the final, the only team to have that distinction. Edited March 10, 2022 by Kent I had an extra "home". Now removed. narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To answer my own question York (Montreal), Cavalry (Whitecaps and Montreal), and USL Ottawa (Toronto) all hosted MLS teams in 2019. That tournament had two-legged ties in each round. So Valour and Edmonton are the only CPL cities not to host an MLS team recently, though the Eddies will have done so in the Cup during their USL days.

Far too often, I only see them mention "The Canadian Championship". Is it just me or is the o, g, and e in Voyageurs a different font? Looks like an old school randsom note.

Match 1 winner (Whitecaps or Valour) is on the road for the quarters, then home the rest of the way. Jedi Ram and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 Thanks guys. From Canada Soccer twitter.

masster Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 With Toronto and Montreal being on the same side of the bracket, there is a real chance that a CPL team can make the final (and host). The Whitecaps have 3 chances to slip up, although 2 of those potential games would be at home. nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the rivalry but, as the tournament continues to expand, I look forward to a little more variety in opponents. Quite aside from what it would mean for later rounds of the tournament, and as much as I really like Halifax, I'm cheering for Guelph to pull the upset. I've been impressed with Guelph's outlook and organization in L1O. It would be great for them to achieve the first ever D3 upset win in the Canadian Championship and reward their fans.

Ruffian Posted March 10, 2022 Share Posted March 10, 2022 In the broadcast they made the claim that TFC have won the most followed by Montreal. How do Montreal fans feel about that? The angle they likely are using is that not all voyageurs Cup wins count as Canadian Championships. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFC have won the most Canadian Championships with seven. Montreal have won the most Voyageurs' Cups with eleven (of which six predate the Canadian Championship). We sometimes call the Canadian Championship the Voyageurs' Cup as a bit of short hand, but one is actually the tournament and the other is actually the trophy. I really like that we have a trophy that predates our current tournament. It gives a story and a little bit of history to soccer in Canada, which is not something we have a lot of.

Watchmen Posted March 14, 2022 Share Posted March 14, 2022 More for the 2023 edition, but I don't want to start a thread for that yet. Listening to AFTN (last 10 min roughly) they discuss the draw for this year. But, mentions that it doesn't sound like L1BC will have an entrance in to the Cup next year. CSA wants more teams in the league (and possibly a longer season) before granting the spot. Which is disappointing. https://aftn.ca/episode-503-the-aftn-soccer-show/ narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I do agree that it would feel lessened if this was the way a CPL team won for the first time. Watchmen and nfitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
