FC Edmonton has 21 Canadian players on the roster, and is really the only Canadian professional team largely filled with Canadians. For comparison, Vancouver has 2, Toronto has 10, and Montreal has 7. I think this is a team to get behind, and with good support, maybe it will lead to Calgary getting a team?
I feel a little dirty cheering for an Edmonton team though.

Yep, I'll wait till someone cashes in on the possibility of a rivalry. Can't cheer for any Edmonton team, for any reason. I really hope we get an NASL franchise here sooner rather than later. I'll be one of the first people out to support it.
