Evidence of the upcoming Canadian Premier League is now public record. The name "Canadian Premier League" was recently trademarked, along with two possible names for the Hamilton franchise expected to join the league. Both were registered by Hamilton Tiger-Cats Football Club Inc.
This is consistent with reports in the past that the league's main offices will be based out of Hamilton, Ont. This would make sense as to why the trademarks were filed by the Tiger-Cats, and not the Canadian Soccer Association itself. The two possible names for the flagship Hamilton franchise trademarked were the Hamilton Steelers and Hamilton United.
