The CSA has been a joke for the better part of past 2 decades.
Far too much red tape and politics. No clear leadership, or plan...therefore too much infighting, taking the program off on tangents, doing things half assed...all fracturing sides of the organization and various people and players getting fed up with the mismangement. That feeds down to grassroots, so those up and comers career goal maybe isn't necessarily to play for Canada.
With Canada's regional issues, and hoping to get the players playing overseas to buy into the organization, there needs to be a solid and clear plan, more friendly's, and more reason for both players to come back to play in those higher profile games, and, the increased experience the team gains from playing better (and more) opponents. It also showcases the game more within the country and gives youth a goal to acheive.
