Yet, both the Fury and the Canadian Soccer Association have guarded the team’s Canadian-content obligations for 2017 like a state secret. But the fact that there are a dozen non-Canadian-team-eligible players already signed tells us something.

The Fury’s front office says that the eligibility of each Montreal player will be set out in their contracts. There is no blanket policy that covers all loanees. So, if Ottawa and Montreal were to meet in a meaningful game, the status of the Impact loanees would be determined on a case-by-case basis.
Now, remember that in NASL, all contracts are registered with the league. Any contracts that the Fury had forged with its players in NASL don’t carry over into the USL. So, the team is rebuilding its roster ahead of its pending move to its new league.
Mozzi Gyorio is set for a return to the NASL — a league he is in the process of suing.
