Two weeks into the 2023 Canadian Premier League season and there are already things to talk about–including trouble in Toronto, again.
Pacific hosts Vancouver in their new (friendly) rival’s debut match. It’s an opportunity for VanFC to define themselves, and maybe show Pacific it’s place in the league, too.
This game is always hyped up, but it’s almost always worth it. It’s the second game of the day, but the first real match-up of the 2023 CanPL season.
It’s the first of a CanPL opening day triple-header. Your local heroes try to rebuild against last year’s beaten finalists in Ottawa.
Coming off a season of injuries, Cavalry have a lot of maybe-healthy players to choose from. Getting back to a final, however, means reckoning with the long, hot Alberta summer.
Every year, I expect to be wrong about York, and I never am. Maybe this year is the year? Will they finally match their xG? Will Dutch internationals be better than Argentinean? Find out in our always-wrong Tork preview.
Pacific have restructured their team around a new-look attack, returning to the combination of local youth and journeyman immigrants that the club aspires to.
Start-up Vancouver FC have an opportunity to become something very fun. They have a better squad than you think, but have to convince people to come see them.
Today in CanPL, we’ll be assembling a team that’s capable of scraping into the playoffs under the new format. With lots of practice, you too can be Valour FC! (Deviations may void season ticket warranty.)
