Toronto FC’s 2-1 win over Orlando City on Friday night was the big highlight of this weekend’s Can-con activity in the North American first- and second-division leagues.

Cavalry FC will kick off the 2019 Canadian Premier League season at Spruce Meadows, Canada's premier show-jumping facility.

The number of registered players fell from 818,940 in 2016 to 776,176 in 2017.

Well, it was quite a weekend for Canadians in MLS and USL. There were goals aplenty from Canadians in the North American professional leagues.
