Expanding the Voyageurs Cup
With this week’s happy news that Edmonton is joining Whatever The Second Division Is Called in 2011, Canada now apparently has four men’s professional soccer teams.
Edmonton sources confirm the CSA has already invited the new team to join Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver in the Voyageurs Cup a year from now.
Much has already been written about possible formats for such a tournament, so I’m going to write from a more emotional perspective.
Maybe you have to live here – and be immersed in the soccer scene – to understand why a true Canadian soccer league is never going to fly. Geography is unalterable. The lack of facilities will take decades to address. Lack of public interest longer still.
