A huge issue in Canadian soccer is we don't really have much opportunity for the 16-22 year old player to continue to develop. These teams will give them that chance.

At first teams may use their money to bring in star foreign player to build around is my guess.
The provincial governing bodies (ASA etc), and CSF need to be at the table with the clubs, promoting organic development. A friend on the ASA board mentioned that’s not happening at the moment, but of course there’s time.
