As soon as FC Edmonton's spring season came to a close, defender Adrian LeRoy and striker Elvir Gigolaj were released by the club.

The RailHawks remain atop the table with the result. But, as of Saturday night, four of the league’s seven teams — Carolina, Atlanta, San Antonio and Minnesota — remain alive in the standings.

“We’d like to bring in one or two new faces, possibly players on loan,” said Miller. “We are already have the best defensive record in the league, despite having so many different players back there. The players have been excellent. If we could get the best goal-scoring record, we’d be set.”

Canadian national-team coach Colin Miller hasn’t quite closed the door on midfielder Atiba Hutchinson playing for his country at the upcoming Gold Cup.

Meanwhile, Calgary’s Paul Hamilton didn’t get off the bench as his NASL side, the Carolina RailHawks, were eliminated in a 3-0 loss on the road to Real Salt Lake.
