I can't recall where I heard it (a podcast somewhere), but apparently the initial idea was for the spring champion was supposed to represent the CanPL in the Concacaf league. Which would have made perfect sense.

But throw in a few variables like... Concacaf, the CSA, Forge, etc. and we got the little charade of a qualification process between Forge, Valour, and Edmonton. And the chosen ones were chosen.
A bit awkward?!

It was the dumbest thing I've ever witnessed in pro sports (thankfully I never witnessed the NASL). Cavalry was punished for winning both "seasons" by having to play a playoff.

That disgusted me so much I almost swore off the CanPL.

If they did away with those shenanigans, I will be pleased to attend more matches this season.
