Crash Course: Canadian Premier League Preview, and a Player to Watch on Each Team

The Canadian Premier League season is upon us. With two rounds of group stage play before a final, each of the (now) eight CPL teams is guaranteed at least seven matches during the “Island Games” tournament in Charlottetown PEI - with all matches being featured on One Soccer, and with select Sunday matches on CBC.
