On Thursday, Dec. 14, the Canadian Premier League will host its annual CPL-U SPORTS Draft presented by Degree.
Valour FC have the first pick in this year’s draft, with the order being determined primarily by the 2023 regular season standings and playoff results. The full draft order and details are available here.
This year, seven players had their U SPORTS rights retained by their previous CPL club and therefore will not enter the draft: Sterling Kerr (Cavalry FC), Aiden Rushenas (Halifax Wanderers FC), Eric Lajeunesse (Pacific FC), Guillaume Pianelli and Jordan Tisseur (both Valour FC), Ameer Kinani (Vancouver FC) and Trivine Esprit (York United FC).
Below is a list of all the players who are available to be picked, pending any intervention from U SPORTS regarding academic standing. A total of 203 players have declared for this year’s draft.
