The Fury’s front office says that the eligibility of each Montreal player will be set out in their contracts. There is no blanket policy that covers all loanees. So, if Ottawa and Montreal were to meet in a meaningful game, the status of the Impact loanees would be determined on a case-by-case basis.

Even though he had one year remaining on his contract, FC Edmonton chose not wait to lock down head coach Colin Miller.

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

Dos Santos said that the team has already signed players, including a Canadian, but the details of those deals have not been announced. The team is waiting for the right time to make those announcements, so he's mum on the identities of the players signed.

Now, remember that in NASL, all contracts are registered with the league. Any contracts that the Fury had forged with its players in NASL don’t carry over into the USL. So, the team is rebuilding its roster ahead of its pending move to its new league.

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.

Canada Soccer confirmed Tuesday that it will look at the Fury's bid to move to USL this December.

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?

But, according to FC Edmonton co-owner Tom Fath, his team has no interest in leaving NASL.

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