The exodus of former Vancouver Whitecaps prospects who played for Fresno in 2018 continues.

Campbell and Baldisimo saw their playing time in USL plummet after the Vancouver Whitecaps chose to shutter their WFC2 program and instead affiliate with the expansion side, Fresno FC, in 2018. 

Greenhouses don’t have as many seedings as the new, improved Canadian Championship will have in 2019.

Davies, who is now with Bayern Munich after a record transfer from the Vancouver Whitecaps, registered four assists for Canada in the calendar year. That’s the second most by a Canadian player since the record keepers started counting assists.

And, on Wednesday, the rumours became hard truths when MDS was named the new head coach of the Vancouver Whitecaps. MDS signed a three-year deal, and will get the MLS chance that, well, a lot of Canadian soccer followers will say is long overdue. MDS is only  41, but with his track record, it feels, well, like he's been around forever, doesn't it?

Photographer Tony Lewis was on the field at BC Place on Sunday, as Canadian wunderkind Alphonso Davies scored twice in his final MLS match as his Vancouver Whitecaps beat the Portland Timbers, 2-1.

Well, with no Canadian teams in the MLS playoffs, at least Alphonso Davies put on a heck of a farewell show.

So far, 29 Canadians have appeared in MLS games this season, and Samuel Piette will finish as the runaway minutes leader.

With the USL season complete, Jordan Schweitzer finished atop all Canada-eligible players when it comes to minutes played, with 2984. A total of 74 Canadians played in USL this season. Fourteen of them each played 2,000 minutes or more this season.

It was quite the weekend for players who have formerly worn the “next great hope” belt in Canadian soccer.
