Last Saturday’s match proved to be quite the season opener. The young ‘Caps put on a strong performance despite missing a number of key players who were away with Canada U-20 national team in an international friendly against England U-20. The shorthanded roster was able to secure three points off last year's Western Conference regular season champions, setting the team off to a good start behind a goal from captain Kyle Greig and a stellar performance from goalkeeper Sean Melvin, who recorded a clean sheet in his professional debut.
