A Halifax sports promoter says the time is right for the municipality to get its own pro soccer team.
Derek Martin with Sports & Entertainment Atlantic said he met this week with an official with the new Canadian Premier League about the idea of bringing a franchise to Halifax.
He said they are hoping to capitalize on the growing popularity of teams, such as the Montreal Impact and Toronto FC, which is taking its shot Saturday at the Major Soccer League championship.
