Preview
The National Soccer League in Ontario was now an outlawed league. This led to that the Inter-provincial final between the two Western and Eastern Division winners was not played.
Malta United joined the league from the Toronto Metro League. They paid $1,500 for their franchise rights.
Clubs and players
East End Canadians started the season with a number of new recruits from Scotland. The Canadians were coached by Johnny Syme.
Toronto Hungaria were greatly strengthened by the arrival of ten players who had escaped from Hungary. All were in their early 20’s and several with juvenile international experience. The Hungarians were coached by John Kiss who had escaped from Hungary several years ago.
Ulster United signed Peter Himus from Tooting & Mitcham and goalkeeper Frank Schwarz, a refugee from Czechoslovakia.
Review of the season
The season opened on May 4.
On May 5
Toronto Italia won the league and playoff championships.
There was no Inter-Provincial Final as the NSL were affiliated to the Canadian Soccer Association. Instead two games were staged between the NSL Quebec All-Stars and the NSL Ontario All-Stars for the Labatt Trophy.
Most popular player – Mario Pizutti (Toronto Italia)
19-year old Italia fullback Mario Pizutti was voted as the most popular player in the NSL by the World Soccer magazine in Toronto. Mario joined Toronto Italia in 1953.
Leading goalscorer – Gerhard Borchert (Olympia)
Gerhard Borchert joined Olympia in May 1956. He had spent four years in a Russian prison camp before coming to Canada. In 1957 he was the leading goal scorer in the National Soccer League.
