Vancouver, Edmonton offer up Canadian Championship intrigue

With the decisive leg to come, Vancouver and Edmonton added another chapter to the Canadian Championship's already-fascinating history.

In what was the rescheduled first leg of the semifinal clash between Western Canada’s two professional clubs, the Eddies set up an intriguing second leg in the Alberta provincial capital next week with a well-earned 1-1 draw versus the Whitecaps at BC Place.
