The Ottawa Fury has not only won three NASL matches in a row, the club is spiking in terms of minutes on the pitch it is providing to its Canadian players.

In Saturday’s win over the Tampa Bay Rowdies, not only did Ottawa get a goal from Canadian defender Mallan Roberts — his first since joining the Fury on loan from FC Edmonton — but the team gave 525 out of a possible 990 minutes to Canadian players. For teams in MLS or NASL, this is an unheard-of total.

Of course, with those kind of weekend returns, Ottawa stretches its lead over all MLS and NASL teams when it comes to average number of minutes per game played by Canadian players.

Here are the full, MLS, NASL and USL rankings… note: Because of the unreliable nature of USL’s game reports, some errors have been detected and some stats have been fixed in this weekend’s rankings:
