The 2006 Canadian Soccer League season was the 9th season for the

Toronto Community News which provided coverage for the league and its member clubs through their nine community newspapers.[5]

Changes from 2005 season

The

Caribbean Selects began play as an expansion franchise in the International Conference.[9][10] The White Eagles played under the same name in the CSL's predecessor league the National Soccer League in 1974.[11] The Hamilton Thunder, and the Durham Storm had their franchises revoked.[12] Most of the matches were scheduled for the weekend in order to save travel expenses for the clubs, and the league eliminated the playoff wildcard match for the host club.[13]
