Could A Truly National Canadian Soccer League Be On The Horizon?

When the Canadian Soccer Association put a moratorium on sanctioning further Division 2 teams that want to play in U.S.-based leagues, it was with the obvious understanding that there could someday be another national domestic soccer league.

The great thing about that is it opens the door for people like 86 Forever’s Benjamin Massey to speculate on what a Division 2 league in Canada might actually look like.

This should come as little surprise, but Ben Massey of 86 Forever is one person happy to hear about the Canadian Soccer Association’s moratorium decision.

Obviously, Massey is using entirely different standards for the two sides to make this argument. Division 2 instability is not simply about butts in seats and the relative popularity of the sport in Canada does not guarantee league stability.

Just days after the NASL picked up two additional teams, it was dealt another blow from a new angle.

The Canadian Soccer Association has apparently grown tired of allowing its teams to play in U.S.-based leagues and has put a moratorium on sanctioning Division 2 teams, according to a report at The 24th Minute.
