Centennial Park Stadium in Etobicoke was built in 1975 and came close to being renamed after Rob Ford in 2017. Nearly all Canadian Soccer League games happen here under the jets on approach to Pearson International. Source.

Masters Futbol Academy play at L'Amoreaux Park in Scarborough. They appeared in the preliminary round of the 2021 Canadian Championship.
Hamilton United 10 - 2 North Mississauga [Ouch!]
Hamilton United joined League1 last year, but withdrew due to Covid, so this is their de facto first season. Their field is Ron Joyce Stadium at McMaster University.

Ottawa South United are from Manotick and have a player development agreement with Atlético Ottawa. They are the only Ontario club in the PLSQ.

Unity are an offshoot of the Trinity Western Spartans program.
CSL: Serbian White Eagles [7 - 3] BGHC1
BGHC1 is an amalgamation of Brantford Galaxy and Hamilton City 1. It's not clear to me whether this is a temporary or permanent merger.

Morton have posted their pre-season friendly fixtures: away games against Annan, Stenny, Livingston and Carlisle United. Training began Wednesday.
Morton have signed 20-year-old goalkeeper Brian Schwake, formerly of Livingston, Linlithgow Rose and Edinburgh City. This will allow the cowshed to recycle some old Brian Wake songs.
