Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 19 (hiatus)/NASL Week 17/USL Week 17

MLS had the week off because of the Gold Cup, so the focus is on division-two soccer in North America.

And, with NASL wrapping up its spring season this past weekend — even though Miami FC ran away and hid at the top of the standings, killing any notion of a “race” for the title — we can look at how Canadians have fared in that eight-team league.

Jacksonville’s Drew Beckie, with 1,383 minutes played, led all Canadians when it came to time spent on the pitch. A total of 14 Canadians played in NASL this spring season. Of course, FC Edmonton led the eight teams when it came to giving minutes to Canadian players; as the only Canadian team left in the league, the Eddies should be the side that offers the most minutes to players from this country.

Five of the eight NASL teams gave playing time to Canadians in the spring season.

Here are this week’s latest rankings:
