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

Soccer is Canada naturally isnt as big as hockey, canadian teams need to train indoors in winter or go somewhere south where its warmer yet more expensive, Soccer in Canada is developing and hopefully with the Vancouver Whitecaps in the MLS now in 2011 and Toronto FC back in 2008 or whatever year it is , will bring more quality training and facilities, thats what its about. but eh, we do love soccer so we love what we have here.
