Intrinsically Canadian Power Rankings, MLS Week 3

It’s a given that Canadians love to head to Florida — OK, maybe a little less so since Donald Trump was elected president of the United States  — and that has become evident in our weekly ranking of minutes played by Canadians in the North American pro soccer leagues.

Orlando City leads the way, giving an average of 172 minutes per game to Canadians. It’s early in the season, but Cyle Larin is banging in goals at a great pace — already. He scored twice on Saturday as Orlando City beat Philadelphia by a 2-1 count. Will Johnson is starting. And, if Richie Laryea can get into the lineup, well, that would only add to the average.

So, Orlando City, so far at least, is Canada’s team. Well, Florida is kinda like the unofficial 11th province already, right?
