Three Canadians made their NASL or MLS debuts this past weekend.

With it being the last weekend of the MLS regular season — and the penultimate weekend of the NASL regular-season schedule — some coaches experimented with their lineups. Some of the coaches wanted to rest regulars ahead of the playoffs, and others were already looking towards next season. It meant  that three Canadians got the chance to make their season debuts.

Brett Levis got a few minutes in as a Whitecaps sub; David Choiniere started for the Impact, and defender Marko Aleksic got into the starting XI for FC Edmonton.

With the addition of those three players, the number of Canadians who have played in MLS or NASL games this season has jumped to 44.

Here are the rankings:
