For more Canadian Premier League content, head over to Northern90.ca. That’s Northern Nine Zero dot ca. Welcome Hello, Canada, and welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast! I'm your host, Pat Sweet. In this week's episode, we do deep into the 2019 edition of the Voyageur's cup, including some special attention on the CPL matchups in round 1. First, of course, let's dig into this week's CPL news and results. Top Stories Results Wednesday, May 8 Pacific FC 0 @ Hamilton 3 Valour FC 0 @ Calvary FC 1 Sunday, May 11 Halifax 0 @ Valour FC 1 Sunday, May 12th, Cavalry FC 2 @ Forge FC 1 Pacific FC 0 @ Edmonton 0 May 15 (Canadian Championship) Halifax 3 @ Vaughn 2 York 9 0 @ AS Blainville 0 Cavalry 2 @ Pacific 0 Insights Only Cavalry FC is undefeated in league play Meanwhile, Pacific FC and Forge FC have dropped 8 points already Average PPG for the league is 1.4 Home field advantage is real with the home team winning 6 of 11 competitions so far News Great article in the Edmonton Journal aboutt Commissioner Clanachan's plans for expansion. 10 - 12k fans a game would be a top 10 league in Europe (Think Scotland, Sweeden, Turkey, Portugal) Current average is 6,249 per game, according to @CPLKitDatabase on Twitter Canada Soccer Announces two-game suspension and fine for Kyle Bekker As you may have noticed, Mr. Bekker didn't play on May 8 or 12. This is for the elbow he threw at Joseph Di Chiara Glad something happened - it sets a precedent Interesting that discipline is not a league function Case closed CPL Makes history with all-woman officiating crew When Cavalry FC visited Forge FC on May 12, the head ref and crew were all women The Northern Tribune is reporting that this may be the first time in history that a top-flight domestic league game has been reffed by all women. Carol Anne Chenard was in charge of the match, and also happens to be the first woman to have ever reffed at Wembly. Up next, a preview of the first round of the Canadian Championship. Canadian Championship Preview What: The top competition among Canadian teams from all professional leagues Who: All Canadian MLS teams, Canadian Premier League teams, USL’s Ottawa Fury, and the champion from Ontario League 1 (Vaughan Azzuri) and the Premiere Ligue de Soccer du Quebec’s champion (AS Blainville). Format Three home and away qualifying rounds. Semifinal round Final round Winner on aggregate moves on for each round In the event of a tie, away goals wins Schedule: First games are on May 15 and the final match is on September 25. What’s new? New format with several more teams than before: all the CanPL teams are new, other than FCE. What’s interesting The fact that CanPL teams are in this year is interesting There’s a great deal of controversy over the seeding. Valour FC, FCE, and Forge FC all got buys into the second qualifying round by virtue of having signed up for the league first. Very strange. CanCon: Each team needs to field at least three Canadian starters. Why is this important Hardware The winner gets a birth in the CONCACAF Champions League – one of two ways to get in. Round 1 Details Round 1 started this week and featured 4 CPL teams: HFX Wanderers (3) vs. Vaughn Azzurri (2) Calvary FC (2) vs Pacific FC (0) York 9 FC (0) vs A.S. Blainville (0) The winner of each of these two-legged ties goes on to meet Valour FC, Forge FC, and FC Edmonton, respectively. Those winners then move on to compete against Ottawa Fury, Vancouver Whitecaps, and Montreal Impact. I'll add a graphic to the show notes for reference. Game Reactions Having watched the games between CPL and L1O/ PLSQ teams, I found it very interesting CPL teams had to fight - it was a real competition Wanderers blew their lead and were lucky to win on a penalty in the dying moments of the game A.S. Blainville was happy to let York 9 have possession - nothing ever came of it. Makes me think Pro/ Rel is closer than we think. Have a listen to what the coaches had to say about the game. These clips courtesy of Robin Glover. The first set is from before and after the first Halifax/ Vaughn match. Before the match May 5 clip (Patrice Gheisar) @1:00 - 2:30 After the match May 15b (Stephen Hart) - @-3:40 is Robin's question May 15b (Patrice) Interesting to hear the respect that Stephen Hart has for the L1O team. He scouted, watched video. He already knew some of these players and wanted them for his squad. Next up, I've got some audio related to the York 9 versus A.S. Blainville match. I had a chance to interview Wandrille Lefevre, who prior to playing with A.S. Blainville was with the Montreal Impact. He's also a former Canadian International. Have a listen to his perspective on his first match against Wanderers FC. Looking forward I found it interesting to see just how tight the games were. There's real skill in both division 3 leagues. Heck, many of the CPL's players came from these leagues. The cohesion and history of the semi-pro teams really showed. At the same time, however, the CPL teams definitely moved faster and had better individual skill. My predictions for who goes through at this point: Wanderers FC Cavalry FC A.S. Blainville Why A.S. Blainville? Didn't concede at home Got their chances Could contain York 9 and wait for their moments Nothing to lose Also, Kudos to One Soccer for doing a good job with the commentary and coverage. It wasn't perfect (there were technical glitches here and there), but all things considered, I was able to enjoy watching the broadcast. Next leg of round one will be played on May 22, which you can watch at home through One Soccer dot ca. Alternatively, go to the game! Season ticket holders - you've got tickets! Other people can get tickets on Ticketmaster. Good luck to all the squads! Next up, the mailbag: Mailbag You know how this works - you send me mail and messages and I read every single one of them. If what you send is extra good I read it on the podcast. Thanks so much for your answers to the question last week. This week's question: What has surprised you the most so far about the league? For the question of the week - lots of comments from people who are excited about the quality of play and officiating. Completely agree with all of that for sure. Gordon from Winnipeg recently joined the Northern 90 Supporters' Group and wrote to say he's brand new to the game but got really interested in the sport when the league launched. Welcome, Gord! Helen also joined the Northern 90 SG - so welcome to you, too! Very glad to have you along. This week's question: How do you feel about L1O and PLSQ teams giving CPL teams a run for their money in the opening days of the Canadian Championship? What did you expect? What are your predictions? Leave a comment at northern90.ca/episode17 Write to me at pat at northern90.ca Fire me a note on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram @northernninety Of course, I love hearing from you on any topic - so whatever you want to share, just drop me a line.

Introduction This is the Northern 90 Podcast with Pat Sweet, Episode 16. Welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast, covering the beautiful game in the great white north. For more Canadian Premier League content, head over to Northern90.ca. That’s Northern Nine Zero dot ca. Welcome Hello, Canada, and welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast! I'm your host, Pat Sweet. In this week's episode, I interview Julian Buscher of Calvary FC. First, of course, let's dig into this week's CPL news and results. News Results Since we last spoke: Thursday, May 2 Pacific FC 1 - Valour FC 2 Saturday, May 4 HFW Wanderers FC 2 - Forge FC 1 Cavalry FC 2 - York 9 1 Valour FC 1 - FC Edmonton 2 Five teams tied for top spot with three points with FC Edmonton and Calvary FC leading on points per game. York 9 and Forge are the only teams who've yet to pick up a win, putting them at the bottom of the table. League leader in goals: Kadel Thomas League leader in assists: Trick question - there are 8 players with one assist each Most tackles: Ndzemdzela Langwa with 18, and 13 of those won Obviously, there's more to come, but I'll keep an eye on these things as the season progresses. News HFX Wanderers FC has signed a former member of the Vaughn Azzurri in defender Matthew Arnone. Arnone joins former Azzurri teammate Thomas Skublak. Arnone will provide defensive depth, and will no doubt be called on for scouting notes ahead of the Wanderers' matchup with the Vaughn Azzurri in Canadian Championship action starting May 15. Of note is the fact that York 9 FC, the other CPL team facing off against a semi-pro team, in this case, A.S. Blainville, also has a former member of their opposition on their roster - Diyaeddine Abzi. There was an interesting article in the Hamilton Spectator about Forge FC's schedule congestion and playing 4 games in 13 days. The article made the point that by the end of that stretch, their spring season will be half over. Other Business I went to my first CPL game! Forge FC visited Halifax last weekend, and I had a blast. A few observations: Great game - high energy. The crowd was into it in a big way. ONEOKODAI and PeterSchaale we’re excellent for the home side. Kyle Bekker had a much better game today. The place was packed. You could hardly turn around in there. Quote of the night was from the school kid behind us saying that seeing this game was a dream come true. I met two of the guys from @FromAwaysHFX and one of the guys from @SeaToSeaPodcast and they are awesome I got to go to the press conference after the match, and it was interesting - neither coach was particularly happy. Have a listen to what the coaches had to say. Stephen Hart was pleased with the win, but still sees a lot of room for improvement. Bobby Smyrniotis was obviously looking for more from his squad. So, I had a blast, and I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more games in the future. If you don't have plans to see a game yet - do it. You'll be amazed at the level of play and how great the atmosphere is.

Check it out at northern90.ca/join. Next up, I have a chat with Calvary FC's Julian Buscher on his deck. Interview with Julian Buscher I caught up with Julian a few weeks prior to the beginning of the CPL season. He's a really interesting player with respect to his experience prior to coming to the CPL - he'd featured regularly for DC United of the MLS and was captain of L.A. Galaxy II, and is someone that has come up on the podcast a couple of times already as someone to watch this year. Here's my interview with Julian Buscher. In talking to Julian it was clear to me that he saw the CPL as an excellent opportunity to reinvigorate his career. This is one of the more interesting things for me as an interviewer - the question of why people join this league. Some are getting their start, others are trying to get back into the groove, while others are making this where they spend their prime and make their mark. I really want to thank Julian again for his time and his candor! If you have ideas for someone you'd like to hear on the podcast, please do let me know in the show notes at northern90.ca/episode16. Next up, the mailbag. Mailbag You know how this works - you send me mail and messages and I read every single one of them. If what you send is extra good I read it on the podcast. Last week, my question of the week was about what you thought the good, the bad and the ugly were in the first week of the CPL. I got lots of good responses, but I'll share a few of the best on the show here: Febrian posted in the Northern 90 SG Facebook group that he thought the Good: positive play used by all 5 teams so far. With some highlight-worthy stuff. Bad: number of players cramping. Players tackling are not so refined that it often cross to the point of recklessness. Ugly: Bekker late tackle and that no disciplinary review has been made (yet). The Haber: back to back post. (he's not that bad otherwise though) Joe wrote me an email to say: The good - no team seems to be running away with the league so far. - the officiating has been outstanding. - officiating #2: not restricted to only males. Very impressed that a female was the head ref in Halifax. She was very good. - player conduct - so far very little if any diving  The bad - player maturity - mostly in the Valour PFC game. One Valour player was chirping at a down player. I think he got a yellow and hen chirped the ref. Gale was caught on camera telling his player to stop (which was good). - HFX vs Forge - not quite sure what was going on at the end of the game. There was a lot of blatant time-wasting followed by pushing and shoving on both sides. Do not want to see that The Ugly- nothing from the league yet on Kyle Bekker's elbow. It doesn't matter if he's a perceived star. It needs to be dealt with - fans chanting 'ref you suck'. Really? Let's leave the hockey hooliganism at the rink, which even there is not good. Heard that at a few games. Question of the Week Thanks so much for your answers to the question last week. This week's question: What has surprised your the most so far about the league?
