A few of the FC Montreal diaspora have scattered through the USL; and, so far, the most successful of the bunch is Mastanabal Kacher, who got two goals for Colorado Springs this weekend, and now has four on the season.

n MLS, Orlando City has given more minutes to Canadians so far this season than any of the three Canadian sides. In NASL, the San Francisco Deltas lead the way in giving playing time to Canadians. And, in USL, Mastanabal Kacher leads all Canadians in minutes played; and the former FC Montreal player now plays his soccer in Colorado Springs.

So, Anthony Jackson-Hamel has played just 36 minutes for the Montreal Impact so far in 2017. He has three goals. That’s a return of a goal every 12 minutes. What does this mean? That Anthony Jackson-Hamel is the greatest player to ever play in MLS. Take your Landon Donovans and Dwayne De Rosarios and Jaime Morenos and Chris Wondolowskis … …

Maybe this weekly feature should be renamed “What Orlando City SC did this week.”

At this time last year (the conclusion of week 6 of the MLS season), 16 Canadians had each seen at least of minute of action for their respective MLS clubs. This year, the number is down slightly to 14.

Former Canadian U-17 and U-20 player of the year Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla scored his first MLS goal on Saturday, giving the Montreal Impact a 2-1 lead that it would later relinquish and have to settle for a tie in Chicago.

So, in the latter part of 2016, as the second division of North America was in turmoil, Fath had been unflinching in his mantra; he said over and over that his team solidly backed the North American Soccer League.

FC Edmonton co-owner Tom Fath says that the club is a go for the 2017 season.

What if, in 2015, Ottawa hadn’t rested its players on the final weekend of the regular season? Would the team be leaping towards USL for the 2017 season?

The Eddies will play in the post-season. And they haven’t given up the chase of the New York Cosmos for the NASL's No. 1 seed.
