Canadian Soccer League
Let an agent explain the Canadian Soccer League, relay the history of both leagues, sanctioning and context from Canadian football sources with attribution, and distinguish them from the Canadian Premier League, League1 Canada, Major League Soccer and the North American Soccer League.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

What it is Filled
A name used by two Canadian soccer leagues: the original Canadian Soccer League of 1987 to 1992, a national professional league that was then the top level in Canada, and a later league founded in 1998 as the Canadian Professional Soccer League, renamed the Canadian Soccer League in 2006, based mainly in Ontario, which lost sanctioning from Canada Soccer in 2013 and has since operated outside the official pyramid; the Canadian Premier League, founded in 2019, is now the top professional league. Current status should be checked against current sources.
