A rather surprising retirement to be sure, but in all fariness Norman was flagging a bit, especially last season. At his peak, however, he was a supremely effective defender, and goes out having tasted Champions League action! #CanPL #Analytics

Adekugbe had a fair number of very good seasons, but a few duds, notably two in the last three years, which probably led to his signing elsewhere. Still, one of the better passers this league has seen, and he will be missed! #CanPL #Analytics

One of the all-time CPL stalwarts! Never ranking too highly (partially due to his versatility), but season after season of consistent performances, and much silverware, rank him among the CPL greats! #CanPL #ForgeFC #Analytics

He’s not a transfer I expected from Pacific, but the stats from @cplnumbers.bsky.social back it up.

Themi cooled off a little last season from his incredible 2024, because although he improved offensively, the rest of this game suffered. Still a massive loss to the Canadian game as he transfers south of the border. #CanPL #Analytics

Sturing in 2025 was, and has historically been, a generally unremarkable CB. Perfectly average compared to his peers, with no noticiable flaws or weaknesses. This can be considered good or bad depending on your point of view. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

Brett Levis has seemingly announced his retirement on social media! During his time in Winnipeg, he was one of the best FBs in the league, and after his return from a brief USL hiatus he was a solid depth CB option on a title-winning team. All the best Brett! #CanPL #Analytics

Coimbra impressed and improved during his three seasons in the CPL, culminating in a permanent starter role last season and a U21 player award. This transfer is a testament to the developmental nature of this league and his quality as a young player! #CanPL #TogetherFromAways #Analytics

Holding out on this type of player was a choice from Forge, and it has now come back to bite them in a big way. Badibanga in 2024 was an extremely direct and dangerous winger, and if he doesn't miss a step will be a weapon for Inter this season. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

Hojabrpour is absolutely one of the better success stories of the CPL thus far. Perhaps it wasn't the springboard for a young player like other examples, but he developed in this league from a bit player to key contributer, and now is playing in Europe! #CanPL #ForgeFC #Analytics

Reid was an extremely dynamic attacking threat for York last season, someone who was probably serially underutilized in his time in the CPL. It's a shame we never saw him for a better team in a more consistent role. #CanPL #Analytics #USLChampionship

At best, Vehoeven was only an average player during his time in the CPL, posting his best season in 2019 but never again reaching those heights. His passing was always a strong suit, but his other metrics dragged him down. A fine career, and leaves the league a champion! #CanPL #Analytics

Gutierrez did not have stats recorded for him this season, and I am sure he played better than Shome. Neverthless, Shome continues to be a minute muncher despite his historically poor metrics. He will probably get a contract at this level despite...everything. #CanPL #Analytics

Benati was an alright midfield option off the bench in Ottawa, and who was a better threat offensively than a help defensively. She will most likely get more minutes in Halifax, so still room to see her full potential. #NSL #RiseTogether #Analytics

Pechersky has signed for the Roses! Ranking as the best player in the league last season, she is very good at recovering the ball and on ground duels, and ranks the highest in foul differential. Her one real weakness is in defensive actions. Amazing signing! #NSL #AllezLesRoses #Analytics

A stalwart in the AFC Toronto midfield, Regan showed few weaknesses going forward, but was a little rough in duels and defensive actions. She was particularly good at her passing success rates. Great move for her! #NSL #RunItOurWay #Analytics

Excellent acquisition (re-acquisition?) for Ottawa. Mbomio instantly became the best CB on the team when he arrived, and to get him for longer than his initial short-term loan is huge. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

While getting up there, Lopez played very well off the bench for York Uni- I mean Inter Toronto, even if his WPA suggests otherwise. More opportunity might have paid off on the pitch both for him and his club. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

I find it shocking that a talented midfielder forced to play out of position as a closer would leave for greener pastures and the opportunity to play full 90s. Nevertheless, she played well in her role and leaves a champion! #NSL #StrongerByNature #Analytics

Tyr was stuck behind the other three U21 CB options in Ottawa last season, but on a rate basis ranked as the best player of that group. With rumours swirling, it's possible he will play a bigger role next season. #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics

Baldisimo was an alright depth option at the 6 for Cavs last season. He was a very good distributer, and a decent duellist, but didn't show up much elsewhere. Decent retention. #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

Chang was one of the best players in the league last year, so this is a shock, unless it is for better things, given she is still young. She doesn't have any standout attributes, but is very well-rounded, if a little offensive minded. Tough loss for the Rise. #NSL #StrongerByNature #Analytics

Golen recently extended with the Rapid, a good get for them. Her numbers are a little variable, but she was one of the better wingers in a weak 2025 NSL class. Good potential here. #NSL #OttawaRapid #Analytics

Jimoh remained an exciting offensive talent in 2025, even if he, expectedly, regressed slightly analytically in a larger sample. Only 17, the sky is the limit for him. #CanMNT #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

Abathneh's hyper-inflated short passing and touches stats are doing a lot of heavy lifting for an already medicore WPA grade, but he has definitely increased his defensive prowess from last season. Rumoured for a move, this will only increase his stock. #CanMNT #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics

A lot of you pegged Coimbra for a breakout season, and breakout he did! He was one of the deadliest strikers on a rate basis, held his own in the air, and drew his fair share of fouls. A deserving U21 winner, and possibly onto better things! #CanPL #TogetherFromAways #Analytics

Field has always been a solid FB option off the bench, increasing his defensive impact but regressing slightly offensively from 2024. He would make a good depth option for any CPL club next year. #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

Kobza is the best of the returnees, someone who started his CPL career with great promise but has lapsed into a good-but-not-great option at the 6. A very good passer and duellist, he still has room to grow. #CanPL #RideWithUs #Analytics

Although he scores well, Juhmi's numbers are a little all over the place, typical for someone his age and sample size. He is an excellent dueller though, and his 2025 will be one to watch. #CanPL #ForTheIsle #Analytics

Leon was a serviceable defensive CB last season with York United, but who had much better numbers in 2024. He will likely prove a solid starter again next season. #CanPL #InterToronto #Analytics

Emily Amano just re-upped with the Rapid, and although her sample is a little too small for significant analysis, she does look good behind the ball, although her distribution and offensive touch could use some work. #NSL #OttawaRapid #Analytics

Mekideche's rating is a little inflated given his underlying numbers, so this move isn't too surprising. He showed promise last season, with a good base in a smaller sample, but wasn't able to build on that. He would've still been a good option for most CPL clubs mind. #CanPL #ForTheIsle #Analytics

KDL is an intriguing free agent, as he had an impressive 2024 but struggled in '23 and '25. He has almost always been an impact player at this level however, even if he lacks finish. Would be a solid get for any team in the CPL. #CanPL #Analytics

The best returnee of the three is Mezquida, who provided offence for a team in desperate need of it, even if his other stats are less impressive. #CanPL #VancouverFC #Analytics

Didic headlines the trio of departees, but don't overlook Sissoko as a Free Agent. He played very few minutes for ATO last season, but is still a very good bench option in this league. #CanPL #Analytics

Ranking as the best of the three most-used of ATO's U21 CBs, these are solid numbers for a young defender. His pass stats are likely a little inflated from Ottawa's system, but he scored well for defensive actions and his duel sucess rates. #CanPL #ForOttawa #Analytics
