Inescapably Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 24/USL Week 22

Jordan Hamilton

It was a fairly quiet week for Canadians in MLS, so let’s focus on a couple of newsworthy moments from our players down in USL:

‘Michael Cox made his first appearance for Saint Louis FC since being traded there from Nashville. He came on as a sub and scored – hopefully this is a jumpstart for Cox, who hasn’t seen a lot of minutes, despite a productive 2017 season with Orlando City’s USL affiliate, which was mothballed at the end of that season.

Bethlehem Steel lost to Canadian Jordan Dover’s Pittsburgh Riverhounds, but there was a shining moment from Chris Nanco, who scored a peach of a goal from distance.

And Jordan Hamilton, who has played 731 minutes for Toronto FC this season, was down in USL this past weekend, but it was his goal that spurred TFCII to only its second win of the season, a 1-0 decision over Richmond.

Here are the rankings after the 24th week of MLS play/22nd week of USL action:
