The FAQ page states the current clubs but no season year, so season is left null. Phase 1 notes the 2026 season had 10 clubs. The cebl.ca teams page was not on the fetch allowlist.
The 2026 season ran 9 May to mid August 2026 (10 clubs). The 2027 team count was not found, so the team figure is the current FAQ count.
Rules change each season and clubs apply them differently. Confirm any figure with the league or federation before you rely on it. This is education, not legal or tax advice. See a figure that is out of date? Send a correction with the source link.
