#canpl

Not 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.

@chriscorrigan@mstdn.ca @AhTheGreg@mstdn.ca 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.

0-0 Cavs vs Forge A decent game, though frustrating that the Cavs couldn’t make the most of being a man up. Ingham was rock-solid at the back—without him, the result could have looked very different. Three weeks into the season, and I’m already done with Gareth Wheeler’s commentary/insights. He’s insufferable —constantly negative about any team west of Hamilton and convinced his hot takes actually matter. Please, for the love of football, let him stay away from the World Cup… #FediFC #CanPL

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. #fedifc #mastodonfc

@AhTheGreg@mstdn.ca 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. @chriscorrigan@mstdn.ca

Supporting the #CanPL in #HamOnt #AtleticoOttawa vs #Nashville in #CONCACAF #ChampionsCup #Fedifc #Mastodonfc

A #ForgeFC fan arrived a little early for the game tomorrow night in #HamOnt in the #ConcacafChampionsCup against #TigresUANL a top #LigaMX side There will be 500 fans traveling from Monterey to see the game and will be allowed in 1/2 hour before the doors officially open. I broke down and paid for the club seats with options to sit inside. It could be -15°C at game time. Advantage to the homeside if it is. LFG. #Fedifc #CanPL #MastodonFc
