	Soccer
		Soccer in Canada was played under a variety of rules from the early years of the 19th century.
		One member of the Canadian team in New Zealand was Dave TURNER; another notable player of this era, Joe Kennaway, played for Canada and Scotland, and in his day was one of the finest goalkeepers in the world.
		This league, known as the Canadian Soccer League, began play in the spring of 1987 with teams in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa and North York.

	Regional Canadian Soccer Leagues
		In a country as vast as Canada the geographical extent of viable amateur and semi-pro soccer leagues is going to be limited to the distance that can comfortably be travelled in a single round trip by bus or car during the players time away from their regular jobs on weekends.
		The CSL had shrunk to just 6 franchises in its last season as a number of teams from smaller Canadian population centres such as Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, London, Hamilton, Ottawa and Halifax had simply not been able to sustain a viable pro level budget and had fallen by the wayside.
		In February 2000 KPMG concluded that such a league was "risky and highly speculative" due to the lack of several key components that would be required for it to be successful and that "Without firm financial commitment/guarantee, the financial viability of the league would be in question from Day One".

		Top soccer people in the country have said that the league is exceptional for the development of players.
		The CSA, as is the OSA, is responsible for professional soccer.
		On average I believe an A-League team is a tenth of the budget of an MLS team; and the CPSL is a tenth of the budget of an A-League team; and a senior amateur team is a tenth of the budget of a CPSL team.

	SLAM! Sports - Soccer - CSL abandons women
		The failure of the CSL to form a league last year was put at the feet of the Ontario Soccer Association, which didn't want any leagues formed, even an itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny league where some of the best women players in Ontario could play.
		That, regardless of whether the OSA formally recognized the division as a league this year, the CSL would be organized enough to have the teams ready, a schedule set and a support system in place for the teams playing in 2006.
		One would figure the league would be sowing the seed for 2007, that it would go to its clubs and ask them to establish a women's team, getting the word out there to potential players that the CSL was serious about women's soccer and while this wasn't yet a league, this was serious business.

	Canadian pro soccer in jeopardy - Just For Kicks: Soccer in Canada - CBC Archives
		With players in the Canadian Soccer League making an average of just $7,500 per season and CSL teams losing money year after year, it looks like this is going to be the league's last season.
		According to Keeping Score: Canadian Encyclopedia of Soccer, it was "the first attempt to form a truly national league in Canada." There were teams from Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Nova Scotia, and several Ontario teams: Ottawa, Toronto, Hamilton, Kitchener, London and North York.
		One is that soccer's infrequent goals make it too slow for Canadians, who are used to the faster pace of hockey.

		The Canadian teams are in favour of a proposed national cup competition, however.
		Soon after the planners of the proposed league revised their blueprint to join forces with the Canadian Professional Soccer League, a 12-team semi-pro circuit with all but one team in Ontario.
		The newly formed Canadian circuit was to be backed by a national TV deal, a marketing agreement with the likes of IMG and revenue generated from a so-called "smart card" that would allow sponsors to tap into the huge market of young soccer players and their families.

		If you exclude the 2 or 3 big clubs in the leagues of smaller countries, I would be inclined to say that Bundesliga 2 should compare to the Premier leagues of most smaller countries.
		At the same time, it must lead to difficulty for players trying to decide whether they should sign long term contracts with a team, especially now when so many teams are teetering on the edge of bankruptcy.
		However, with the financial turmoil that seems to plague professional soccer in Europe this summer, I suspect some changes in ranking are likely to occur.

		There is now the Canadian Soccer League formerly CPSL which is a semi pro regional (Ontario) league and not much of a player on the Canadian scene.
		The national soccer association (CSA) is looking at a triangular model with the three big cities above playing at the highest level in North America (MLS) with the next 5 or so largest Canadian cities playing in the USL Division One.
		It seems I wouldn't be wrong in saying Canadian soccer faces similar problems to those which Australia faced not too long ago.
