Summary

The White Eagles entered the 2017 CSL season as the defending champions with Uroš Stamatović returning to manage the squad for the season.

The new additions included Luka Milidragović, Dušan Kovačević, and Ivan Nikolic.[3] They also continued fielding their reserve team in the Second Division.

Serbia concluded the regular season as runners up and was ranked in the top three for the best offensive and defensive records. In the preliminary round of the postseason they defeated SC Waterloo by a score of 5-3.[6] Unfortunately they failed to defend the CSL Championship after being eliminated by the York Region Shooters.[7]
