The homecoming continues with yesterday's signing of Tosaint Ricketts for Toronto FC.
In the last seven months, a whopping eight Canadian players have signed with clubs across our country. While Canadian Premier League talks have been quiet as of late, is this a sign that the current Canadian clubs are making an attempt to lock up Canadians?
Assuming that the CanPL will have a league-mandated minimum for Canadians on each roster it would be wise for clubs joining the league, or within Canada, to sign in demand Canadians. As reported in the Hamilton Spectator, the new league is expected to begin play in 2018, which would leave only a year for the six to eight teams to scramble to find quality Canadian players to fill their rosters.
