Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 26/NASL Week 23/USL Week 24 4 Sep 2017 The most significant change comes in MLS, where Orlando City, which has been that league’s leader in minutes played by Canadians since First Kick, was finally passed at the top. The Montreal Impact, even with Samuel Piette and Anthony Jackson-Hamel on international duty, has surpassed the Lions in terms of minutes played by Canadians. Patrice Bernier’s 90 minutes played in Saturday’s loss to Chicago helped nudge the Impact ahead.

Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings: MLS Week 21/NASL Week 18/USL Week 19 31 Jul 2017 July has featured a lot of “firsts” for Toronto FC’s Canadians.

Eddies make a formation change, but lose fall season opener to Indy 30 Jul 2017 So, to kick off the fall season Sunday and welcome back all-time FCE leading scorer Daryl Fordyce into the fold, Eddies coach Colin Miller instructed his team to play in a 4-1-3-2 formation, bringing numbers to the front and hoping to coax more goals out of an offence that finished dead last in scoring in the spring season.

McKendry, Bruno Zebie training with FC Edmonton 25 Jul 2017 McKendry has played in one MLS match for the Whitecaps this season, and has appeared in 14 USL matches for WFC2.
