Eddies beat Indy, then learn that Hurricane Maria has changed their plans 17 Sep 2017 But, after the Eddies dominated Indy and won 2-0 at Clarke Stadium, Sunday, they found out they wouldn’t be getting on the plane on Monday. The league announced that the game at Puerto Rico has been postponed. Forecasts are calling for Hurricane Maria to arrive at Puerto Rico Wednesday.
Eddies prepare for a run of “10 Cup finals” and try to shut out the NASL gossip 8 Sep 2017 “There’s nothing we can do about it as players,” said FCE captain Nik Ledgerwood of the latest episode of As the NASL Turns. “We try to go on with our work, although it is a distraction. It’s your workplace, it’s up in the air. But, at the same token, it’s the same thing as last year. We were dealing with the same thing in the off-season. Nobody knew if there was going to be a league, a team, whatever it was. We’ll continue to work hard and do our stuff, and we hope the fans will come out and continue to support the team.”
Miller believes June loss in Puerto Rico was the catalyst for FC Edmonton’s change in fortunes 29 Aug 2017 Coach Colin Miller looks back to a June 3 loss at Puerto Rico as the turning point for the Eddies.

FCE coach Miller on lopsided loss to Puerto Rico: “The buck stops with me” 3 Jun 2017 “The buck stops with me,” said the coach. “I’m big enough to accept that when things go like that, it’s a reflection on Colin Miller.”
FCE will split into two groups for long trip to Puerto Rico 30 May 2017 The 5,600-kilometre trip is so daunting, so logistically difficult for a travelling contingent of 22 people, that the only way it can be done is to break the group into two.
Offside debate, missed open net part of wild FC Edmonton win over Puerto Rico 22 Apr 2017 The temperature was ice cold in Edmonton on Saturday night. There were snowflakes in the air. But Puerto Rico coach Adrian Whitbread’s temper was white-hot.
Despite three losses in first three games, FC Edmonton won’t panic 20 Apr 2017 “I do a report [after every game] and that was as poor a report that I’ve written for the team,” said Miller. “And that’s very hard to take when you’re the one steering the ship. I’ve always said it’s our team when we win, and my team when we get beat. There were portions of that game I was cringing, watching, because it was one of Colin Miller’s teams and I don’t want that to happen again.”
