I would hate for the league to lose a real team as well. I don't consider the Lynx to be a real team. Real teams try to win and don't give away their best players to a rival team when they are still in the playoff race.

If the Lynx folded, I wouldn't mind seeing a team in those cities you mentioned, maybe Windsor, Ottawa or Hamilton as choices to place a team. However not with the same owners. The league doesn't need another joke team.

What's the latest on Hamilton and Ottawa? There was talk of one or both of these cities entering the league.

Can't see Ottawa getting into the first division of the USL anytime soon.

The PDL is a good fit for Ottawa at the moment.

Assuming a stadium and an MLS team in Toronto (and like Krammerhead, I'll believe it when I see it) the Lynx would be dead. If the league wanted to move the team rather than fold it I would suggest either Hamilton or Kitchener.

Hamilton has a decent history of soccer back to the CSL days and draws well (for the CPSL) with the Thunder.

Kitchener had a CSL team which didn't do as well. That, however, was then. The Kitchener metro area is now just under half a million. It is highly affluent and has strong support for sports. It is also an area which has recently crossed that intangible line where it has gained a sense of self and identity. I think it would do well with a USL team assuming (as with all such ventures) proper ownership.
