In the latest episode of the CanPL.ca Newsroom, Charlie O’Connor-Clarke and Marty Thompson review Friday’s big announcement from commissioner David Clanachan which said the CPL is aiming to kick off by mid-June or early July at a single site, with all eight clubs returning to their home markets later in the season. The gang review the plans – which includes a full 28-game season for clubs – and debates which side is best suited for success in a single site start of the season.

Plus, they recap a busy week of signings in the CPL with former English Championship standout Joe Mason joining Cavalry FC and Canadian men’s national team defender Dejan Jakovic signing with Forge FC.

Marty and Charlie also get caught up on CPL news, discuss Drew Beckie joining Atlético Ottawa, and everyone’s favourite thing: stadium renderings!
