    ^ And he had a hand in the tying goal during his cameo on the field. Well done.

    This is/was fantastic news for the CPL and most importantly, for Telfer. It shows that TFC didn't send him to York to bury him and that they haven't forgotten about him.

    Most importantly, it proves that CPL level is a good level for a player to play in and be able to perform in MLS and have a impact on the game.

    Fantastic statement from CPL as a whole. It also raised awareness of York 9 within Toronto as they were mentioned on TSN

    After the games of June 15, the only teams still alive for the Spring title are Cavalry, Forge, and HFX. Is that correct?

    Halifax hosts Cavalry on June 19. It looks like a loss or tie and the Wanderers are also out.

    Hamilton is at Calgary next Saturday. The Forge need to win that to have any chance and that might not be enough since they only have 1 other Spring game while Cavalry has 4 total games left.

    You are correct. I think it's Cavalry's to lose as they have a 2 game advantage over Forge.

    However, I think Forge will be a powerful team for the Fall season. They will have experienced CONCACAF League by then.

    Cavalry remains perfect with their 7th wins over HFX Wanderers.

    2-1 Cavalry over Halifax

    0-0 tie between York 9 and FC Edmonton

    Cavalry won at Halifax on Wednesday so the Wanderers are out and now Calgary just needs 2 points at most in their last 3 games to clinch the Spring title. A draw against Forge on Saturday would be enough since Hamilton would need the win to stay alive.

    Great looking little stadium.

    They just need a better team to play in it.

    Tie game between York9 and HFX Wanderers

    There's no such thing as perfection. Forge prevents Cavalry from clinching the spring season with a 1-0 win

    The Forge win over Cavalry makes things look like this at the top of the CPL:

    1. Cavalry 8 g.p. 21 pts +9 g.d.
    2. Forge 9 g.p. 19 pts +9 g.d.

    Remaining games for those two teams (EDT):

    Wednesday, June 26
    York9 v. Cavalry 7:00 pm
    Edmonton v. Forge 9:00 pm

    Monday, July 1
    Pacific v. Cavalry 6:00 pm

    Not much hope for Hamilton but if Calgary fails to win in the early game on Wednesday things could get interesting.

    Very convincing win by FC Edmonton who defeats Pacific 3-1.

    *Stadium is being expanded

    **The poor camera angle is due to the Hydro pole which imposes a height restriction preventing One Soccer from getting a better angle. The pole will be removed by the Hydro company during the off season and be replace by new stands.

    Cavalry clinched their Spring season with a 2-0 win over York9.

    Cavalry qualifies for the Canadian Premier League Championship

    Cavalry wins the Spring with a win over York9. And the Forge lost so it wasn't even close. The Canadian Championship becomes the most interesting thing for a while now until the Fall season heats up. Unless Calgary runs away with the Fall too.

    Want a reason to be excited about this league? I'll give you 3 from today:

    17 year old Tyler Attardo scored his 2nd goal for Valour today

    Marcus Velado-Tsegaye scored on his 18th birthday today for FC Edmonton

    17 year old Ahmed Alghamdi scored for Pacific today

    Do you know where these kids would end up without the CPL? The same place as just about every other talented Canadian kid before them, out of the game in a few years.

    Give them a pathway and who knows, a few of them might just surprise everybody and go on to something big.
