A Season of Firsts: Breaking Down the 2025 NSL Schedule (www.nsl.ca)
 

The inaugural season kicks off April 16th with Calgary facing Vancouver.

Personally, I have to wait for April 27th, when AFC Toronto faces Ottawa Rapid FC.

Can't wait for kick-off!

CANM17 Qualify for 2025 FIFA U-17 World Cup™ - Canada Soccer (canadasoccer.com)
 

In addition to qualifying, the CanM17 squad set a new record for most consecutive wins (6).

With the team having qualified for five of the last seven U17 World Cups, it's a good window into the growth of the game here in Canada.

Some lads to keep an eye on!

Mark Noonan: CPL plans to add six teams by 2030 - Two teams coming in 2026? (www.transfermarkt.us)
 

Noonan talks about player sales, CPL expansion, pro/rel, growth of League1, and a few other things.

Kelowna & Windsor are front runners for 2026 expansion, but Kingston is a strong possibility.

National Teams only? (lemmy.ca)
 

Is this community only for the national teams & news related to Canada Soccer (the organizing body), or should it also include CPL / NSL / L1Canada / MLS (Canadian Teams), and/or youth/grassroots soccer across the country?

I know some Canada Soccer communities (Reddit / FB) tend to be restrictive on that. I don't want to post news about non-national teams here if it isn't welcome, and I also don't necessarily want to create new communities if it is (why fracture an already small community?).

Most roadwork in Sudbury to be completed by end of year. (www.cbc.ca)
 

It's a long article, but the TLDR:

  • Bridge of Nations & Frood/Maley roundabout work will continue through 2024.
  • Kingsway/Falconbridge will be starting up before winter once Kingsway/Barrydowne is complete.
  • All other current projects are expected to wrap up by winter

I'm down to participate.

I guess we would need to lay out some base rules, maybe create/platform some "parties", launch some sort of "election" or appointment process, and then develop issues to debate. It could be a an entertaining/interesting experiment, but it does need a certain critical mass to launch.

I like it. Straight and to the point, with the options you need quickly.

I'm curious; what's the purpose of the waterboarding & purse buttons?
