Pro Gaming League (PGL) was founded in September 2007 in Regina, Saskatchewan. The league has, since 2009, been abandoned by its owners and members due to lack of participation.
According to PGL founder Kyle Gronning, "The PGL is the equivalent to the American Major League Gaming (MLG), but the PGL is more focused on the players than its American counterpart." Gronning has been quoted as saying "Guys make so much money playing poker, why can't they do that with video games?"
