RE 🇨🇦If you can, check out the #CanPL ⚽season opener tomorrow at 12pm Eastern Time on CBC, CBC Gem, or https://CBCSports.ca
Internet Greg's New AccountWoah, they've burying the lede on the #CanPL changes: In addition to the new maybe-awesome-maybe-catastrophic offside rule, there's a new playoff format, updated salary cap info AND a change-the-direction-of-play for time wasting rule I've been in love with since I first heard it pitched in someone's EPL podcast. Might be an interesting season!

Might be a disaster, might be fantastic. Not sure the #CanPL officials make for a good demonstration though.

BunNICKula🇨🇦Watching the leadup to the #CanWNT game in the #SheBelievesCup. As a ⚽️ fan, I am really proud of the role of #ForgeFC and the #CPL getting #MackenzieBarwell front and centre on #OneSoccer, beside Kristian Jack.
Mac has talent and drive. She had 2 great seasons with the #CanPL squad as the in-game talent, as well as great sideline interviews and of course her #BehindTheBeard sitdowns with Bobby Smyrniotis, as a #McMasterU undergrad. She also went to #MilanCortina at the Winter university games in 2025.
#CanPL provides training grounds for not just athletes and coaches in #Canada but media and other support areas. Physios in training get exposed in placements (under supervision) in professional sport.

It is too bad that #CanPL doesn't have the #CONCACAF League opportunity any more. Pleased that 2 (and this year 3) teams can play in the #concacafchampionscup but the games #ForgeFC had vs Central American clubs were tremendous. Making a continental semi-final was amazing. They only lost out on away goals to Motagua a really good Honduran squad.
(And two days later had to play the final vs Pacific, but I am over that, really)
As Kristian Jack keeps reminding Bobby, Forge has more extra-league games than any other Canadian squad since 2019.
As much as it hurt, as a #ForgeFC fan supporting #AtletiOttawa last week in #HamOnt was the right thing to do. #CanPL needs all the help.
Watching tonight again. Nashville up 4-0 on aggregate. Woobs playing well up front again.
Previously Gregory Mills' Old AccountNot gonna lie, I am once again feeling smug that our nascent national soccer leagues (both the Men's #CanPL and Women's #NSL ) are made up entirely of Canadian teams playing here and with requirements to drive domestic talent growth while "Canada's game" (both Men's and Women's) is focused almost entirely on US owned leagues playing with mostly US teams.

Whelp, it's #Concacaf Champions Cup game day. Forge eliminated, VFC eliminated, let's see how #AtleticoOttawa fares against a midtable MLS team. #CanPL
