Northern Super League begins in April 2025 with franchises in Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, Toronto, Halifax and Calgary
Growing up in Sudbury, Ont., the Canadian women’s national team forward didn’t garner as much attention as she might have in a big city like Toronto.
“It’s something that really resonates with me,” Lacasse said Thursday at Centre Nutrilait. “I wish when I was younger that this existed because my journey wasn’t easy.” “I had a very difficult journey to get where I am just because there was no visibility,” Lacasse said. “There weren’t many coaches, so I didn’t have those eyes on me, and I think this league will provide that for kids that maybe aren’t drafted into a or WSL.Each NSL team is expected to have a $1.5-million initial salary cap for 20 to 25 players on a roster and the minimum salary is $50,000.
“I’m really happy where I’m at right now,” centre back Vanessa Gilles, who currently plays for Lyon in France, said. “But obviously it’s something that’s going to be very interesting moving forward for a lot of Canadians. It’s no secret playing at home in front of your friends and family is a huge plus. The downside of being a professional is being away from your loved ones and missing so many life events.
Lacasse and Gilles are focused on playing Mexico as Canada prepares to defend its Olympic title at the Paris Games this summer. But even Mexico provides a window into what this new league could mean for Canadian side.
