“I’m very happy about the news of the new league. It is great for growth of the game. I am also excited to hear of CSA’s involvement. In hosting the next WC we needed to keep the excitement of the women’s game up and this will only help. Having the opportunity for several Canadian players to play professional games on a weekly basis will be good for everyone – the players, the organizations and the fans. Hopefully the product on the field will speak for itself and we will be able to make this one of the best leagues in the world.
“Having played in the past two leagues, the WUSA and the WPS, I hope people will support this league as well and come out and watch the games. Everyone can play a part. If you have the national team players from USA, Mexico and Canada playing together, it is bound to be a great product.”
