So far this season, 26 Canadians have appeared in MLS matches; but, of those, only five have earned more than 1,000 minutes each. To put that in perspective, 1,000 minutes is just over 11 games of full-game action. More than half are under the 500-minute mark.

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.

FC Edmonton’s Allan Zebie scored his first NASL goal, and it stood as the winner as the Eddies defeated the San Francisco Deltas 2-1 in the league’s unofficial Canadian derby.

But we’d be remiss in our duties at The 11 to ignore the fact that the number of minutes for Canadian players at TFC has dwindled over the last couple months.

But, where Canadians are making the most noise is in the USL. This past week, six Canadians found the net in USL games, including Jordan Hamilton’s brace for TFCII in midweek action. Ottawa’s Adonijah Reid scored his first USL goal, joining fellow Canadian Eddie Edward on the Fury scoresheet. Mark-Anthony Kaye, Mastanabal Kacher and Chris Nanco also scored in USL play.

And, the Ottawa Fury go down as the most Canadian-friendly NASL or MLS team in North America. Canadians played an average of more than 347 minutes per game for the Fury.

Three Canadians made their NASL or MLS debuts this past weekend.

Levis is not the first CIS product to play in MLS. Right now, University of Montreal product Wandrille Lefevre is playing for the Montreal Impact. And he’s not the sole Husky to play pro soccer. Paul Craig played with FC Edmonton in NASL.

UBC, which has lost just once this season, swept its two-game weekend series with UNBC in Prince George, winning 4-1 and 3-0. Milad Mehrabi scored three times over the course of the two wins, while Reynold Stewart scored twice in the opener against UNBC.

Levis, who also led the Victoria Highlanders to a final-four spot in the PDL over the summer, scored both goals to the lead the University of Saskatchewan Huskies to a 2-1 win over the University of Winnipeg in Saturday’s Canada West curtain-raiser.
