Overwhelmingly Canadian Power Rankings MLS Week 11/NASL Week 7/USL Week 8

Fraser Aird’s lead over the rest of the pack is at over 100 minutes; but chances are — when it comes to minutes played this season — that the Vancouver Whitecaps fullback could be caught and passed by Toronto FC’s Will Johnson sooner rather than later.

Vancouver has had a heavy schedule so far this spring, and almost every team in MLS has games in hand on the Whitecaps. As well, Aird will be suspended for the Whitecaps’ next game because he was sent off in Saturday’s 4-3 win over Toronto FC.

So, while Aird currently enjoys a large lead in terms of minutes played amongst Canadians in MLS and NASL, chances are that lead will shrink or be obliterated by this time next week.

With the Canadian U-23 team in action, some of this country’s best prospects currently employed in USL were away from league action, so that has shuffled the order a bit in that league.
