Guillermo Compton Hall (17) battles for North York Astros at home ground Esther Shiner Stadium in the 2002 Rogers Cup Final, but the Astros have made a one-year switch to The Soccer Centre for 2004. See new CPSL schedule just released.

The Canadian Professional Soccer League has released its 2004 season schedule together with the announcement of Durham Storm as the name of the new team in Durham Region.
The name adds a finishing touch to a new league formation with five teams in the Eastern Conference and six in the west.
EASTERN CONFERENCE: Durham Storm, Metro Lions, North York Astros, Toronto Supra, Vaughan Shooters.
WESTERN CONFERENCE: Border Stars, Brampton Hitmen, Hamilton Thunder, London City, St. Catharines Wolves, Toronto Croatia.
Teams are identified by the community in which they are based, with three exceptions. Metro Lions play in the territory of Scarborough and Border Stars have a structure and support that spreads from Windsor over the border beyond the city of Detroit into Michigan. Toronto Croatia, which draws support from that city, has its headquarters and home ground in Mississauga.
Each team will play a 20-game schedule consisting of home and away games within the conference and cross over games against opposition in the other conference.
The 110-regular league game schedule is augmented by the Open Canada Cup competition with teams from outside joining the CPSL pros during the four holiday weekends leading to the Open Canada Cup Final on Monday, September 6.
The season will close with the playoffs late September into October and the CPSL championship game for the Rogers Cup Final on Thanksgiving Day, Monday, October 11.
With Hamilton in the league, there is a guarantee of two Thunder-Storms, the first on Monday, July 19 and the second on Friday, August 27.
