2013 Canadian Soccer League season

[4][5] The governing body was required to reinstate sanctioning to the CSL until the next season in order for the CSA to work with all existing leagues to fairly implement the Easton Report.

[9][10] During the SDRCC hearing, CSA president Victor Montagliani stated that the decision to de-sanction the CSL was not made on any alleged grounds of match fixing in the CSL but strictly on the decision made by the CSA board of directors to adopt a new soccer structure in Canada.

[11] The aftermath of the sanctioning issue resulted in a decrease in teams in both the first and second divisions as the two MLS academy clubs along with Brantford Galaxy, Mississauga Eagles FC, and SC Toronto left the league.

[14] The CSL youth development system continued its success with four Montreal Impact Academy players being signed to the first team in the MLS before their departure from the league.

After establishing the best defensive record within the league Antonio Illic and Sven Arapovic of Toronto Croatia were voted the Goalkeeper and Defender of the Year for the second time in their careers.
