Edmonton Scottish finally won its first-ever Challenge Trophy in 2016. And the coach believes that Canada’s senior men’s champion deserve an even greater honour; a chance to play in the Voyageurs Cup...

It’s been a hell of a Thanksgiving weekend for Edmonton’s soccer community.

FC Edmonton chopped five players from the roster Saturday, including veterans Chris Kooy and Kenny Caceros. As well, while 2012 NASL Best XI defender Paul Hamilton was not part of the cuts, he is also not signed, either.

“I have spoken to Paul (Hamilton), he knows he has work to do,” said Miller. “There are weaknesses in his game that I have seen, and that we have talked about. I think the experience that Albert Watson (the Northern Irish veteran who came to FCE from Linfield FC) brings will help Paul with his game."

The identity of one more player is being held back. That player will be announced just before the game Tuesday.

As FC Edmonton won just five of those 28 games and finished dead last in the NASL, the numbers aren’t expected to be pretty. But because FCE’s defensive-minded games resulted in a lot of low-scoring losses and draws, the minus numbers aren’t as severe as you might think.

FC Edmonton turned September into Christmas for the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

FC Edmonton’s leading scorer, Shaun Saiko, has been greenlighted by doctors to play in Sunday’s must-win tilt against the Atlanta Silverbacks.

In front of a full house at Clarke Stadium, Yashir Pinto scored the goal that allowed FC Edmonton to draw level with the San Antonio Scorpions. Nearly three hours later, in front of just a handful of fans, he missed the sitter that would have given the Eddies the win.

After beating the Atlanta 2-1 on Saturday, FC Edmonton has made Silverbacks Stadium its home away from home this week.
