As the Canadian Premier League marches towards its 2019 debut, we’re starting to get a better idea of what the league is going to look like.
With 10-teams slated to make their debut next year, it leaked last week that CPL has trademarked six names, giving eagle-eyed observers a good sense of which markets will get an expansion team.
Those marks include “Calgary FC,” “Port City FC,” “HWFC,” “Calvary FC,” “York 9 FC” and “Founders FC.” This comes on top of a previous trademark of “BCFC” (presumably British Columbia FC in Surrey or Victoria) and the already announced teams in Hamilton and Winnipeg.
