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:  an interview with economist Dr. Duane Rockerbie.  Results League Play The first-ever CanPL finals are set!Forge FC will take on Cavalry FC in a two-legged tieOct. 26 at Tim Hortons Field in Hamilton, with the decisive second leg slated for Nov. 2 at ATCO Field at Spruce Meadows in Calgary.Cavalry won the spring seasonForge and Cavalry are now guaranteed to finish 1st and 2nd“Even though the winner of the Fall season should choose their home match according to CPL rules, and that winner hasn’t been decided as of yet, the League office and the two clubs agreed on the match dates because of a scheduling conflict that exists with the Hamilton Tiger Cats, the primary tenant at Tim Hortons Field,” Clanachan explained.Only 14 games left as of September 30 Canadian Championship Congratulations to Montreal Impact for winning the 2019 Voyageur's Cup!Montreal beat TFC on penalty kicks 3-1 after going 1-1 on aggregate.Interesting to note that Montreal only beat York 9 by one goal on aggregate, and that both legs against Cavalry FC were 1 goal games. CONCACAF Nations League Up next for Canada is a two-leg tie against the United States.Canada host the Americans in Toronto on Oct. 15Next, they play in Orlando on Nov. 5.This will likely determine who wins Group A and advances to the finals News FIFA 20 FIFA 20 is out, but the only CanPL player represented is David Norman Jr., who's with PFC on loan from Inter Miami. He's got an overall rating of 53.No sign of Ryan Telfer or Blake Smith who are also on loan from MLS teams, so hopefully we'll see them soon.Thanks to the Northern Tribune for digging into that - check them out at NorthernTribune.ca. Interview with Duane Rockerbie Tell us about yourselfHow did you get into sports economics?How did you get involved with the CanPL?I understand you were asked to complete two reports. What were they?What did you think of the project before you really did your analysis?How has the league compared to your expectations?What do you think the league needs to do next in order to ensure long-term success?Where should we be by the time we co-host world cup 2026?How do you envision promotion and relegation working?  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. Jeff responded to last episode's QOTW: Best and most promising is Jonathan David. Most will say Phonzie, and yes, he's a phenom, but David's ceiling is winning the Champions League as a starting striker. Not sure the same can be said of Phonzie. Crystal wrote via email: I've been collecting the podcast episodes since it started, and decided that it was time to start actually listening to them. While the season is not finished, it's been interesting to listen back to the excitement that we had, with the eyes of what we've since experienced.   The Week Ahead League Play Sep 11 - Wednesday 10:00 pm ADT Edmonton   vs.   CavalryClarke FieldTICKETS Sep 11 - Wednesday 11:00 pm ADT Pacific   vs.   York9Westhills StadiumTICKETS Sep 12 - Thursday 9:00 pm ADT Valour   vs.   ForgeIG FieldTICKETS Sep 14 - Saturday 4:00 pm ADT Pacific   vs.   EdmontonWesthills StadiumTICKETS Sep 15 - Sunday 2:00 pm ADT Forge   vs.   HFX WanderersTim Hortons FieldTICKETS Sep 15 - Sunday 4:30 pm ADT York9   vs.   ValourYork Lions StadiumTICKETS Sep 18 - Wednesday 6:30 pm ADT HFX Wanderers   vs.   ForgeWanderers GroundsTICKETS Canadian Championship Next game is September 18 at Stade Saputo CONCACAF Nations League No more games in September.

Liam Pritchard had some great comments on the N90SG Facebook Group about a survey that was being circulated suggesting that Canadian MLS clubs join the CanPL. He said: Yeah not a good idea yet. Maybe one day. Just need to look at Scotland to see what good two teams dominating the league would look like... Being a Brit, I love North American sports because of the parity. I love that anyone can win each year because anyone can beat anyone. QOTW: Who is Canada's best player? Most promising player?

Goals Lots of young Canadian talent2 top goal scoreres are Tristan Borges and Terran Campbell.Both 20-year old CanadiansEaston Ongaro is 21, and tied for 4th in the league with 5 goals.

Three Take-aways Canada's got talentThe "Play your kids" rule has value Teams are giving kids a chanceTerran Campbell asked to play as a 9 and was given the chanceEaston Ongaro has worked his way into a starting role - after getting a spot on the roster in the first place. Success of youth will determine the success of the league and of Canadian soccer CanPL will want to strive to become a selling leaguePlayers will see opportunity to go on to bigger clubs and will develop in CanPLThe men's national team's performance will improve as more young Canadians get their chance. See also: Terran Campbell interview on Young Gaffers 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. Michael Elder wrote on the Northern 90 Supporters' Group FB Group: Forge FC has a really tough run of games in the next couple months. They play something like 7 in the next three weeks including away to Olimpia. Then they have a break before playing another 6 in just over 2 weeks. Less than half are home games as well. And that's assuming they don't advance further in the CONCACAF League. I honestly wonder if they can keep their pace up; that's just an exhausting series of matches. If they do hold on and win the Fall season kudos to them; they'll definitely deserve it. One advantage they have is no other team behind them...
