There are a few schools in the NCAA that have done really well recruiting in Canada. The University of Maine is another that comes to mind. But when it comes to the Memphis Tigers, they've had a strong contingent specifically from Calgary. In 2023 they had 4 Calgarians - Mya Jones, Grace Stordy, Izzy Monck and Anna Hauer. Jones and Stordy have gone pro and Monck and Hauer have since transferred. We interviewed all four of these players for our podcast when they were playing for the Tigers.
The first game was great quality. the video production was way better than nwsl and mls in my opinion. The cameras were nice and cinematic which I like a lot. It will be a great league. Canada has a great system going with their, league 1 bc, alberta etc provinces too,.
Production was good ex graphics, Scorebug was a disaster with different fonts, not showing for a chunk of 2nd half and changed to a new scorebug for a few minutes. Subs, yellow card & lineup graphics were too basic.
Best part was ocmmentators didn't chat their way through the match and weren't constantly hyping the players, team or league - which was what makes NWSL commentators the worst in women's football.
Given how many former Memphis Tigers are playing in it, and how many Canadian players sign with the University of Memphis, I'm sure it'll stay much closer to the forefront here in Memphis than it otherwise would have

I am really upbeat about the Northern Super League and its potential. Looking forward to tracking it this season.
