Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board and the Thunder Bay Chill are pleased to announce a new partnership to bring Futsal programming directly into our schools.

This exciting initiative is the first of its kind in Thunder Bay, offering students new opportunities to stay active, build skills, and engage in a sport that supports both healthy bodies and active minds. Students who already love soccer will enjoy this fast-paced game, and those with no experience will find it accessible and fun.

Physical activity is an essential part of learning. When students move, they think more clearly, build confidence, and strengthen important skills like teamwork and perseverance. Introducing Futsal in our schools gives students another exciting opportunity to stay active and engaged, whether they’ve played soccer before or are trying something new for the first time. We’re incredibly proud to bring this program to our students.  — Frank Lacaria, Superintendent of Education - Elementary,  Thunder Bay Catholic District School Board

By introducing futsal in schools, we create an environment where all students—regardless of background or ability—can thrive, connect, and discover the joy of active living. It transforms the gym into a classroom with every movement a new possibility and every game an opportunity for students to grow. — Wilson Neto, Technical Director for the Thunder Bay Chill Soccer Club.

Representatives from Thunder Bay Catholic and the Thunder Bay Chill were present today at Holy Family School, where the official agreement will be finalized.

"We are thrilled to launch this program. It represents our committment to the community. Since talks began, our Club has moved forward to bring in expert Futsal coaches from Brazil as well as ensure some of our present coaches carry the proper qualifications and licences to deliver the futsal program", stated Tony Colistro, Executive Director of the Thunder Bay Chill. 

The Chill will begin delivering the program into the schools in February 2026. 

Open to Male & Female Players 18 and older

Thunder Bay, Ontario — Jan. 27, 2026 — The Manitoba Soccer Association (MSA) and Saskatchewan Soccer Association (SSA) today announced a new licensing agreement with Canadian Soccer Business (CSB) to launch the Prairies Premier League (PPL), which will join Canada’s national system of elite pro-am soccer competitions beginning this spring.

Set to kick off in May 2026, the Prairies Premier League will represent the highest level of domestic pro-am soccer in Manitoba and Saskatchewan, providing a clearly defined competitive environment for top players, clubs, and coaches across the region. Operating within the Premier Soccer Leagues Canada (PSLC) system — part of Canadian Soccer Business’s league portfolio — the league will apply a nationally aligned pro-am model while remaining grounded in regional leadership and local soccer communities.

Developed through collaboration between MSA and SSA, the Prairies Premier League will apply the competitive and development model proven nationally under the League1 brand to address a long-standing gap for athletes in smaller provinces seeking consistent, high-level competition beyond the youth game, while also supporting the development of coaches, referees, and soccer organizations across the region.

“The Prairies Premier League shows what can be achieved when we come together with a shared purpose,” said Steven Porter, Executive Director, Saskatchewan Soccer Association. “The league was built to address a clear need and will deliver a consistent, high-performance environment while serving as a central hub for the soccer community across the Prairies.”

The inaugural season will feature seven clubs spanning Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Northern Ontario: Saskatchewan EXCEL Program, Forza Soccer Academy, QC United, FC Manitoba, Bonivital Flames, Lucania FC, and Thunder Bay Chill.

“This league is the result of strong collaboration and leadership from our soccer communities, and we’re thankful for their commitment,” said Héctor Vergara, Executive Director, Manitoba Soccer Association. “Their investment extends far beyond matchday, helping elevate local talent and supporting the continued growth of the game throughout the Prairies.”

The launch of the Prairies Premier League coincides with a refresh across Canada’s existing system of pro-am competitions. Formerly known as League1 Canada, the system was today reintroduced as Premier Soccer Leagues Canada (PSLC), building on an already strong foundation as a credible developer of Canadian talent. This evolution reflects a broader strategy by CSB to align Canada’s domestic pathway with greater intention and clarity — both across its own league portfolio and in how the pro-am game connects with the wider professional and national soccer landscape.

Under the PSLC framework, the Prairies Premier League will join the Ontario Premier League, the Alberta Premier League, and the British Columbia Premier League as the provincial and regional leagues operating under the aligned branding and connected through the national system.

“This agreement reflects the strength of the pro-am model that already exists in Canada,” said James Johnson, Group CEO, Canadian Soccer Business. “The Prairies Premier League extends that model into a new region, creating meaningful opportunities for players and clubs while reinforcing alignment across the domestic pathway.”

The 2026 Prairies Premier League season will run from early May through mid-July, with a full competition schedule and additional operational details to be announced in the coming months.

The launch of the Prairies Premier League further reinforces the momentum of Premier Soccer Leagues Canada, as the national pro-am system continues to expand and connect community-based competition with higher levels of opportunity in the Canadian game.

With a proud history spanning 25 years in USL2, the Thunder Bay Chill celebrates its accomplishments but now looks forward to focusing on the development of soccer within Canada. The expansion to include a women’s team completes the club’s competitive pathway, providing female athletes the chance to showcase their talents locally.

The League1 Prairies season will follow a similar schedule, running from May to July. Details regarding coaching staff, schedules, and season ticket pricing will be announced in the coming weeks.
