MM3/MM2/MM Posted January 2, 2023 Share Posted January 2, 2023 Should be an exciting season for L1O, technically promotion/relegation starts this year, with only relegation in play this season. 75% of 2022 points plus 2023 points will determine which 12 teams will remain in the top flight while the remaining 10 teams will be relegated to the 2nd division.

MM3/MM2/MM Posted January 27, 2023 Author Share Posted January 27, 2023 https://northerntribune.ca/burlington-sc-jace-kotsopoulos/ Nice to see articles on L1 signings, Kotsopoulos has great scoring stats at lower levels, wasn't able to make the most of his CPL opportunities Bison44 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocket Robin Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 League 1 Ontario season will start second weekend in April this season which is earliest start ever. I learned this while talking to the pres and treasurer of Vaughan FC as to the reasons they turned down a 50/50 chance (or better) to host the Preliminary round game in the Canadian Championship which will appear in the February 2023 issue of The Sentinel in two weeks. There will be a staggered start in that some teams who control their own grounds can host home games earlier than those that rely on Parks and Recreation departments of the cities and towns they're in.

Anyone joining now has to start at level 2 with all the reserve teams and academies and work their way up to Championship (the 10 teams that will be relegated for next season) and work their way up to the Premier level of top 12 teams. So no teams coming in anymore with a big splash into the top like Simcoe Rovers nor Electric City. P-O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the down side to the new structure. That said, the gap between L1OP and L1OC isn't so huge that fans would be dissuaded from coming out because a new team is "way down" in L1OC. New teams could still come in ambitiously with the reasonable goal of quickly winning their way up. I should also add that I'm looking forward to reading your game reports again this year.

L1O is by suburban GTA youth clubs for suburban GTA youth clubs and the OSA's internal voting structure will help keep it that way where the D3 sanctioning level is concerned.

I feel the opposite. I think the new structure is good for the ambitious teams, even prospective ones. It forces them to prove their merits match their dreams, and if/when they reach the top, it's best on best, instead of having a lot of filler. We have seen teams come in with big talk and not able to hack it in the past. A few years of learning on their way up the ladder isn't the worst thing. longlugan, Bbeto and red card 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_M Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 called it...keeping all 22 teams until 2024 was a pipe dream...specially in a amateur/semi-pro environment...and even after pro rel arrives you could have teams folding, not wanting to go up, wanting to drop levels....will be a headache Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Catharine's home game against Sigma is at Tim Hortons Field, so maybe Sigma was supposed to be the home team and they just mixed it up. Really its more of a road game for both I guess. Looking forward to your match reports again this season. Keep up the great work Rocket Robin!
