Rumour: York 9 FC to launch as official Canadian Premier League club

It looks like we’ve finally got another confirmed Canadian Premier League club. According to a Twitter post from the budding York 9 FC supporters’ group, that club will be officially announced at an event on May 10 at Vaughan City Hall.

It appears that the event will be attended by both CPL president Paul Beirne and league commissioner David Clanachan, as well as the club’s apparent ownership group: Danish marketing executive Preben Ganzhorn, and former Toronto FC player Jim Brennan.

TFC fans may remember Ganzhorn from his stint as the MLS team’s Director of Marketing and Community, which he took on in 2011.
