TORONTO, ONT – The 2022-23 Canadian Premier League U SPORTS Draft gets underway on Thursday, and the CPL’s eight teams, including expansion club Vancouver FC, will draft from 199 eligible players, the largest selection pool to date. 

Vancouver FC holds the first two picks of the draft, and will not select in the second half, while every other team has a pick in the first and second rounds in reverse order to which they finished the 2021-22 CPL season.

49 Sports, in tandem with Canucks at School and Canucks Abroad have narrowed the 199 student-athlete list to a Top 30 draft list. This is NOT a mock draft, but an assessment of value and skill that each athlete brings to the CPL Draft and a potential CPL team.

49 Sports and Canucks at School will also have a full mock-draft ahead of Thursday’s event. The CPL Draft streams live on the OneSoccer and CBC Sports YouTube channels at 3:00pm PT on Thursday, Dec. 15.
