I think 16 is absolutely doable when the league has clubs in areas like Victoria and Halifax. It's when they look past 16 into 2 leagues with promotion / relegation that is a little hard for me to envision right now. At the Cavalry launch the commissioner said he was in discussions with 22 markets.
Speaking of, Alex Bunbury has said that he's looking to put a team in the Montreal area. Apparently he also owns a team in Portugal.
Quote:
It’s a future, Bunbury offered, he hopes to be a part of as the Canadian Premier League launches in 2019 and seeks immediate growth.
“I’m working on bringing a team to Montreal. That’s how much I believe in this league,” Bunbury reiterated.
“I’m willing to do whatever I need to do to bring a (CPL) club to a city that gave me so much.”
