Yesterday, the fine folks over at @northtribune released an article with more details about #L2O.

Some highlights:
* Yes, it will be regionalized
* Sudbury Cyclones received top marks in evaluations
* Cyclones to use the Sudbury Wolves' bus
* Press box & seating to be added to James Jerome, new facilities beyond city-owned pitch being penciled
* England-style (Premier, Championship, League2) league naming likely being rebranded in a couple of years

At long last, the CBC has their first article on the #SudburyCyclones .

Read it over here:

The folks over at CTV News have some footage from yesterday's press conference for the Sudbury Cyclones.

Footage includes shots of James Jerome's grass field, as opposed to the fenced-in Turf field. There is significantly less seating at the grass field, and it is further from the field. At #GSSC's U16 (M) #TOSL match last weekend, many spectators brought their came chairs to sit closer to the field.

Clearly, the club is still piecing it together.

Today was SWSE's media event on the launch of their new #L2O team, the Sudbury Cyclones.

In addition to officially announcing the Sporting Director and General Manager, they've announced plans for a training academy, potential future improvements to James Jerome, and the number of teams in the league.

From the first released article, it like it won't be regional, but it consists of 10 new squads competing across the province.

My spouse kicked me out of the house for a couple hours so she could set stuff up for a birthday dinner.

I don't mind at all since it means I get to watch #GSSC's U16 (m) team compete in a T O. Soccer League match on the grass field at James Jerome.

Some of these lads might be playing for #SudburyCyclones in #L2O or #L1OChampionship in a couple years.

The folks over at the Canadian Soccer History Archives have pushed through an update to recognize the announcement of #L2O's Sudbury Cyclones.

They've added the historical stats for the original Cyclones from the National Soccer League (1976-1981), and a fresh page for the new team.

Looks like the automatic post to Mastodon from Crater's Edge doesn't work with #Divi posts/pages.

I just quickly threw up a post about the #L1O information session on the site.

@CalebDusdal @AhTheGreg

The folks over at @cansoccer.social are big on #CanPL #CXNT and the various #League1Canada leagues.

I'm prepping for the launch of #L2O, which should have a local squad for me to cheer on as they work their way through pro/rel up to #L1OPremier.

@intothewestaway

There is no longer a direct entry option into #L1O.

In 2024, the current L1O teams split into #L1OPremier and #L1OChampionship. New teams will enter via #L2O, with pro-rel between all 3 divisions. I believe they also plan a cross-division cup competition.

It's going to be fun!

@Chrisosaur @swanguardians

What about the Canadian Championship?

I'm thinking #CanChamp, but there's other stuff that may use that as well. Could also go with #CC2023, but I kinda like the idea of using a single hashtag regardless of year.

For the other Div 3 leagues:

#L1O - League1 Ontario Premier

#L1OC - League1 Ontario Championship

#L2O - League2 Ontario

#PLSQ - Premiere Ligue du Soccer du Quebec

Amateur leagues should use their initials (#FVSL, #AMSL, #SRCSL )
