So far, it’s been a very quiet offseason for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
This is probably a good thing. After years of offseason rumors and turmoil, the Whitecaps appear destined for stability in 2022, even if the competitiveness of the team they will field is still up for debate.
With many more knowns than normal heading into the preseason, I figured it was time to take a look at the 2022 schedule for this team and see if any trends could be impactful.
I couldn’t start this column without noting that this will be the first time in three years that the Whitecaps (at least at this stage) will be playing a regular slate of games against both the Western and Eastern conferences, and things will also be much less condensed than last year, with matches kicking off at the end of February.
