So, when asked after the game if Scarlett would be making more appearances in pre-game ceremonies to come, Watson answered with an emphatic yes. Maybe the little girl has replaced the rabbit as the Eddies’ good-luck charm.

Even though he’s been at Ottawa’s camp since the outset, the termination of his SKC contract and his new Fury deal were only just announced. The Fury deal only lasts till the break between the spring and fall seasons, so de Jong can look for a new club in the July transfer window. In fact, his wife and daughter have remained in Kansas City.

Mozzi Gyorio is set for a return to the NASL — a league he is in the process of suing.

The USL’s Austin Aztex announced that the club would not play in 2016 because of issues securing a suitable soccer stadium that the team could call its own. That left Aztex coach Paul Dalglish looking for work rather than preparing his squad for the upcoming season.

Dalglish got MDS’s old job — but, will it be a marriage made in heaven?

The Canadian dollar is trading well below 72 cents US. Canadian clubs in MLS and NASL take in most of their revenue in domestic currency, but pay out a lot of expenses in U.S. dollars.

Stratford, PEI’s Mozzi Gyorio has been a big part of FC Tampa Bay’s surge up the standings. Gyorio, who is currently part of the national U-23 player pool, is a playmaking midfielder who can play in the middle or out on the right. He scored a key last-gasp free-kick marker in last week’s 3-3 draw in Montreal.
