And, the Impact scored early and often as it overwhelmed the reigning NASL champion Tampa Bay Rowdies 4-1 at the Walt Disney World Pro Soccer Classic in Orlando, while Toronto FC overcame a terrible start in a torrential first-hald downpour to overcome USL-Pro’s Orlando City 2-0.

Need any more proof of how much of a crapshoot the Supplemental Draft really is? Two of the three early cuts from Toronto FC’s camp were players taken in the the 2013 draft-after-the-real-draft.

The games from the Walt Disney World Classic are archived on YouTube, so that offers the chance to not have to spend a prime Saturday afternoon watching any Toronto FC and Montreal’s preseason matches.

With just one trialist in camp, it allows TFC more time to break in draft prospects like Emery Welshman and Kyle Bekker; and also give Supplemental Draft Picks like Ashton Bennett more of a fair shake. And it creates more room for Academy players to display they're ready to make the jump.

Make no mistake, the CSA’s decision to protect a national Div. 3 vision, while at the same time endorsing a report which backs away from a national Div. 2 strategy, represents a major, major win for NASL over USL. FC Edmonton and Ottawa will be recognized as Div. 2 in NASL, while USL can’t cross the border — at least not in a way that would be recognized as, well, Canadian.

Toronto FC president and GM Kevin Payne made the best of a bad situation by dealing Designated Player Eric Hassli to FC Dallas for a conditional second-round pick in the 2014 SuperDraft.

Toronto FC media day, 2013 edition, could be renamed “Wow, Nothing Bad or Controversial Happened Day.”

Just days after drafting two local products, Kyle Bekker and Emery Welshman, in the MLS SuperDraft, TFC confirmed the rumoured addition of former Canadian national-team keeper Pat Onstad to the club’s staff.

“I had a serious interest in the position and, in my talks with Tom Anselmi, I believed that Tom Anselmi has a serious interest in me,” said Wilt. “As it turned out, I may have been mistaken about that.”

Kyle Bekker and Emery Welshman are going home.
