WFC2 have folded in favour of a Fresno based affiliate. This has lead to a lot of discussion about whether WFC2 was a worthwhile project or if an affiliate team makes more sense. This article will look at some of the positive effects that WFC2 had.
By my count, 13 players currently signed to the the Vancouver Whitecaps senior team have played at least some minutes with WFC2. There are currently 34 players under contract with the first team so about a third of them have played at least some time with the reserve team. That’s a pretty decent percentage.
