CANADA'S PROFESSIONAL LEAGUE
The Canadian Soccer League (CSL) is Canada's only professional league and is a continuation of earlier leagues, the National Soccer League (NSL), the Canadian National Soccer League (CNSL) and the Canadian Professional Soccer League (CPSL), going back more than 80 years.
The CSL presently operates teams in the provinces of Ontario and Quebec and has adopted a mandate to expand on a regional basis to other parts of Canada.
The league is headed by a Commissioner, Cary Kaplan, with offices at The Soccer Centre in Vaughan and Mississauga, Ontario.
The CSL operates two divisions -- a National Conference of teams in Windsor, St. Catharines, London, Brampton, Oakville, North York and Toronto and the Province of Quebec - and an International Division of teams in the Toronto area which represent their country of origin.
The CSL has a 22-game regular league schedule which runs from mid-May through to the end of September, followed by the playoffs which lead to the Championship Final late October. It also runs an Open Canada Cup from mid-May to Labour Day weekend in September, a competition open to all senior teams in Canada, amateur or pro, which is a first step in Canada's attempt to run a total club championship.
Inaugural year team Trois-Rivieres Attak won the 2007 Open Canada Cup, defeating Columbus Clan of Vancouver, 3-0, in the final on September 3, 2007, and the current CSL champions are Toronto Croatia of the International Conference which defeated another International Conference team, Serbian White Eagles, in 2-leg final October 20/21, 2007

They should bring in teams from the PCSL join and the USL DL. Then they could have an East and West league (like MLS) and scrap the International Division. At the moment nearly all the clubs are based in the Toronto area, that isn't a good thing btw. Currently there's only have 9 clubs, with PCSL and the Canadian teams currently in USL DL, that would bring them up to 28. With that, include a few from other state leagues and form a CSL 2 aswell, East and West also.
also that ethnic league is fucking shite they will. the csl will never get a team in the voyageurs cup if they are called portugal fc how can they represent canada in the Champions league. unite the league and change the names a bit
I agree but I think it is called the international division because most of these players could never play for Canada because they are not born in Canada, Hence to have their own league that competes with national Canadians is okay.
Its shit either way its a joke, and it has been set up or business i think Canada should just end this league and unite, the CSL and the PCSL,and bring the PDL teams in aswell, and maybe if they want to bring the USL teams in because if u do that u can have a full canada league.
while i love N.American football as a european your wrong. CSL and USL are great but MLS is shite Northern irish football is better and our players are mostly semi-pro
