Waston leads the Whitecaps in mending their undisciplined reputation.

The Vancouver Whitecaps seem to have their discipline in order this season. Gone from this season is the parade of red cards and supplemental suspensions handed out by the league discipline committee that was so glaringly characteristic of last season. 2016 saw such a succession of ejections and suspensions that the team quickly garnered a reputation as a dirty team, quick to make the egregious foul, and quick to go down cheaply in order to draw the foul. This reputation was a few seasons in the making, as fans across the league lamented the ‘Caps tendency to play beyond the rules.
