Ahead of the start of its inaugural season, here's everything you need to know about CPLsoccer. (JohnMolinaro)

Home stadium: Investors FieldHome stadium: Spruce MeadowsPlayer to watch: Randy Edwini-BonsuPlayer to watch: Marcus HaberSanctioned as Canada’s first division, the CPL was founded by a small group of investors, most notable among them being computer software millionaire Bob Young , working in conjunction with Canada Soccer to help fill a major soccer void in the country.

The standings will then be reset for the fall season, which runs from July 6 to Oct. 19, when clubs will play 18 matches. Also, the CPL was largely born out of a desperate need for Canadian soccer to develop its players and give them opportunities that they otherwise might not receive elsewhere. Those same Canadian players who routinely fall through the cracks in MLS, and in other leagues from around the world, will be given a chance in the CPL.

“Those are pretty aggressive quotas, and I’m not sure there’s another league in the world that has those kinds of numbers when it comes to domestic players,” Clanachan told Sportsnet.The Canadian Club Championship has been expanded to include all seven CPL teams. As per usual, the tournament winner will win the Voyageurs Cup and earn a berth in the Concacaf Champions League.
