x League comprised of less than six teams(five)
From the Canadian National Soccer League Official Yearbook 1995
statistics compiled by Adrian MacNair.
I expect that "N/A" means 'not available'. Anyone who has information can
E-mail me and I'll update the blanks and inform the league.
Quite a few industrial teams before 1951 it appears!
Westinghouse appliance maker
Carsteel
Stelco Steel Company of Canada
Frood Mines
Falconbridge mining company
CNR Canadian National Railroad
Also interesting is the ethnic teams becoming champions at about the same
time as their population were immigrating to this area.
