The 1995 Canadian National Soccer League season was the third season of the league under the Canadian National Soccer League name, and the seventy-third season in the league's history. The season began on May 26, 1995, with London City facing Scarborough Astros at Cove Road Stadium. The season concluded on November 2, 1995, with St. Catharines Wolves claiming their second CNSL Championship after defeating Toronto Jets in a two-game series. [1] [2]

Contents

The CNSL lost its presence in Quebec and became solely located in the province of Ontario. The league also received some local competition with the advent of the Canadian International Soccer League (Puma League). [3] The league managed to recruit Parma FC, who were the 1994–95 UEFA Cup champions for their All-Star match. [4]

Overview

Since the conclusion of the 1993 season, the CNSL went through a tumultuous period throughout the remainder of the 1990s. The territorial boundaries of the league were further reduced from the Montreal-Windsor corridor and became primarily restricted within the Golden Horseshoe area in Ontario. Both of the league's franchises in Montreal departed with the Montreal Ramblers relocating to the American-based USISL Pro League under the name New Hampshire Ramblers, and Montreal Croatia folding. [5] The CNSL also experienced direct competition from the newly formed Canadian International Soccer League (Puma League), which received sponsorship from Puma. [6] [3] The Puma League was centered around the Toronto area with ethnically supported teams and was able to attract Toronto Croatia in defecting. [7] [6]

The results of these events caused a decrease in league membership to six teams with all the clubs being located in the province of Ontario. [8] After a twelve-year absence in the Hamilton region, the league returned with the acceptance of the Hamilton White Eagles. [9] [10] The previous time the city was represented in the CNSL was in the 1983 season when the Hamilton Steelers competed in the league. Former league commissioner and Toronto Italia owner Rocco Lofranco resigned, and the league took over the Toronto franchise. [11] Various reports claimed that Lofranco had intentions of acquiring the franchise rights of the Toronto Rockets to receive entry into the American Professional Soccer League, but the Rockets ownership refused to relinquish their territorial rights.
