CPL has announced the formation of "Canadian Soccer Business", which will oversee the commercial side of things. Hamilton Tiger-Cats president Scott Mitchell will be the CEO of CSB.
Quote:
Canadian Soccer Business now represents the following:
- On behalf of Canada Soccer, all corporate partnerships and media rights for Women’s and Men’s National Team Programs
- All commercial assets of the CPL including partnership and media assets of each club within the league
- A collection of naming rights opportunities at new and renovated CPL stadiums
- The Canadian Championship – Canada’s professional club championship that features all Canadian professional clubs with the winner qualifying for Concacaf Champions League
- Grassroots programs that reach millions of Canadians playing the world’s game from coast to coast

Also, another article explicitly identifying markets. From what I've heard, 7 of these are either ready to announce, or getting very close.
