Contents

In the Second Division, the Windsor Stars were the divisional champions by finishing first in the standings, which secured automatic promotion to the First Division. [11] A postseason tournament was utilized in the Second Division where St. Catherines Heidelberg won the NSL II Championship after defeating Windsor. [12] As the membership in the league increased the NSL was divided into two separate divisions (First and Second Division) with a promotion and relegation system. [13] [14] Toronto Croatia would purchase 50% of the Toronto Metros to form Toronto Metros-Croatia in the North American Soccer League, while still retaining a reserve team in the NSL. [15]

Overview

The National Soccer League (NSL) went through a series of reforms beginning with the partitioning of the league into two separate divisions (First and Second divisions) with a promotion and relegation system. [13] The top ten teams from the previous year were placed in the First Division, while the remainder and expansion clubs were relegated to the Second Division. [16] [17] How the promotion and relegation system was operated in the NSL was that the last-placed team in the First Division was automatically relegated, while the Second Division champion would receive an automatic promotion to the First Division. [18] The second-last team in the First Division would play in a series of matches against the runner-ups in the Second Division to determine which team would be relegated or promoted. [18] A name change was included in the reforms with the league operating under the Canadian Soccer League (CSL) name to distinguish itself from other regional leagues using a similar name. [19] The CSL also provided additional incentives for match competitiveness by issuing prize money to the divisional champions and runner-ups. [13] [19]

The Toronto-based CSL teams began using Lamport Stadium in 1975 but were forced to split their home matches between CNE Stadium. and Varsity Stadium as Lamport required further repairs throughout the season. [20] The repairs had an economic effect on the Toronto clubs at the live gate with only Toronto Italia generating a profit as their home matches were played at York Stadium. [21] [22] The Serbian White Eagles were embroiled in a dispute with the league executive committee as the White Eagles were banned from league competition after a fan invasion during their 1975 CONCACAF Champions' Cup match against C.F. Monterrey. [23] The decision was appealed and taken to the Canadian Soccer Association (CSA) where the ban was lifted with Serbia required to play in a closed venue without spectators. [24] [25] [26] [27] The league ownership began a policy to limit the usage of import players in an attempt to ultimately Canadianize the league and placed a limit of six import players per team. [28] [29]

The boundaries of the league were once more located around the Montreal–Windsor corridor with the CSL returning to Windsor, Ontario with the Windsor Stars being granted a franchise. [28] [29] Oakville United was granted a franchise and a developmental team sponsored by the Ontario government called the Ontario Selects were placed in the Second Division. [30] The league continued to have a presence in Montreal, Quebec with the Montreal Castors acquiring Montreal Cantalia's franchise rights. [16] Two noted franchise applications were rejected at the annual league membership meeting held on December 15, 1974, the applications were summited by London Marconi and St. Catharines Roma. [31] St. Catharines failed to secure the necessary league votes, while London's bid was rejected by club member London City as they held the territorial rights to the region. [31] [32]

The rivalry between the NSL and Toronto Metros of the North American Soccer League was further intensified with the Metros ownership attempting to lobby the Ontario Soccer Association (OSA) to place further restrictions on the allowance of imports, and with Toronto Croatia becoming part-owners with the Metros. [15] [33] On several occasions, some NSL teams outdrew the NASL club in attendance numbers. [34]
