Kingston Posted April 12 Share Posted April 12 13 hours ago, SthMelbRed said: I'd suggest that a player from the Highlanders is not likely going to be the most reliable source of information about what actually happened. True, but for him to blame the CSB specifically implies he has some information. Otherwise, he'd have no reason to complain about them as opposed to, say, the team making a decision on its own.

Otherwise, he'd have no reason to complain about them as opposed to, say, the team making a decision on its own. From Times-Colonist source, Highlanders pulled out because the model and fee structure weren't satisfactory. It would have cost them up to $15k more to operate. Other L1BC teams have associated youth systems, or are affiliated with university/college programs that could absorb that fee increase. The CSB believes it can bring in a more seamless approach with access to bigger, national sources of revenue. Other L1BC insiders say it was 5k increase for men's team and 5k increase for women's team. Given the other L1BC clubs paid up, Highlanders didn't have the revenue levers to pull and/or didn't want to. With L1BC under CSB, their non-profit model isn't aligned, can't be scaled up and financially unambitious. You could say CSB could have been easier on them by letting them play in Voyageurs Cup and another year in the league. Then, next year, if there is a L2/L3BC, the Highlanders can be moved over. https://www.timescolonist.com/sports/highlanders-cease-soccer-operations-in-league1-bc-8577812 Watchmen, nolando, Kingston and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Hearing that Pacific (and a few other CPL owners) are pushing for a bye in the first round rather than having to play TSS. Don't want to pick up the travel costs or play the extra game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps i'm out of the loop - are they responsible for covering travel costs for TSS? The match is at Langford regardless. Also just now realizing Telus picked up the sponsorship for this event. Maybe i'm living under a rock. Edited April 16 by Mihairokov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had to be Pacific trying to get out of playing the game and paying for TSS travel to the island, like a bus and some ferry tickets really were going to cost all that much, getting a first round bye. Had to be that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kent Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 The title is maybe a bit misleading. The first 6 or 7 minutes is mostly talking about MLS, then they talk about the Canadian Championship after that. Not really a preview, but some content to get people excited about it coming up. Cavalry hosts Vancouver tonight. narduch, chalms04, Canuckia and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kent Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 Does anybody know of players that have played for a tier 3 team in the Voyageurs Cup and gone on to play for an MLS or better team? I know Ryan Raposo and Alistair Johnston played for Vaughan in 2019 against Wanderers. Any other examples? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
