If they want to grow the game, they might need to consider giving away the broadcasts, there must be a channel that would give them the airtime. Heck, even some smaller leagues including the Women’s Hockey was being broadcasted on Twitch.Tv…or mid 2000s WHL was in Shaw Public Access.

If a kid discovers the CPL on Twitch and gets his/her parents to take the family to a couple games a year, it will be more beneficial for the league than a $10 a month subscription.

I won't say OneSoccer holds them back because I don't believe that is fair. They have done so much for the league from financial help to promotion. It's hard to ask for them to do more. I will say, they do need to find a way to get a game every week, or couple weeks on Sportsnet or TSN (despite both being trash), to get more casual fans with eyes on the league. Or at least back on CBC.
