Davies, who is now with Bayern Munich after a record transfer from the Vancouver Whitecaps, registered four assists for Canada in the calendar year. That’s the second most by a Canadian player since the record keepers started counting assists.

Well, with no Canadian teams in the MLS playoffs, at least Alphonso Davies put on a heck of a farewell show.

So far, 29 Canadians have appeared in MLS games this season, and Samuel Piette will finish as the runaway minutes leader.

So, even though Canada played Dominica in the most recent World Cup qualifying cycle, Canadian midfielder Jonathan Osorio admitted that he and his teammates have what amounts to a very limited scouting report on the team from the island nation.

With the USL season complete, Jordan Schweitzer finished atop all Canada-eligible players when it comes to minutes played, with 2984. A total of 74 Canadians played in USL this season. Fourteen of them each played 2,000 minutes or more this season.

It was quite the weekend for players who have formerly worn the “next great hope” belt in Canadian soccer.

With the MLS ad USL seasons winding down, it’s almost impossible to see any other players outpacing Samuel Piette (MLS) and Jordan Schweitzer (USL) as their respective leagues’ leaders in minutes played by Canadians. Both continued to hold commanding leads.

Focusing on the good news: Kyle Bekker scored for NCFC in a 6-1 win over Atlanta United 2; Chris Nanco scored for Bethlehem Steel in a rout of TFCII and Zachary Ellis-Hayden found the net for Fresno, the Whitecaps’ USL affiliate.

It’s hard to try to take a moral high ground against the Fury, when the team is providing the playing opportunities that it does for Canadian players. And this weekend’s win is an example of why the Fury/USL/CanPL question isn’t so black and white.

Wright got the start for the Revs and rewarded the club for its faith.
