Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 12/NASL Week 9/USL Week 9

Tyler Pasher

The Vancouver Whitecaps called up Edmonton’s Gloire Amanda from their USL squad ahead of Wednesday’s Voyageurs Cup against Montreal. If Amanda and Alphonso Davies both play, you could argue that maybe it should be be the “Edmonton Whitecaps,” thanks to the two graduates of the Alberta capital’s St. Nicholas — the junior high that’s become a soccer factory.

But the feel-good Amanda-Davies combo story shouldn’t overshadow a somber truth; that, as of this week’s the Whitecaps average of minutes given to Canadian players dipped under 90 minutes per game. Those are the kind of numbers that’ll get the #WhitecapsHateCanada hashtag going again.

There were some other interesting Canadian storylines that developed over the weekend. In the loss to Vancouver, Canadian Tyler Pasher made his MLS debut, playing 45 minutes for Sporting Kansas City.

And Max Tissot, who began the season with D.C. United, was assigned to the USL’s Richmond Kickers, then left and signed a deal with the San Francisco Deltas, can say that he’s already played an MLS match, NASL match and USL match this season. It’s only May.
