Report: Canadian Premier League salary rules revealed

The Hamilton Spectator released an article on Wednesday that was chock-full of fascinating news about the upstart Canadian Premier League. Most notably, it revealed a ton of new information about how the upstart Canadian Premier League may structure its rosters and source its players.

Reporter Steve Milton learned that the CPL will have a salary cap structure, with the average player’s wage hovering around $50,000 or more. The league will also have a heavy focus on Canadian content, as it looks like teams will need to be composed of at least half Canadian players (both on the field and in their overall roster).
