Canadian Championship: All-time data

With the most important all-Canadian soccer competition fully upon us, I've had an inkling lately to look a little at the accumulation of data over the first four years of the Canadian Championship.

I spent literally in the high double digits of minutes compiling some spreadsheets listing each player to take part in the competition, from Abdus Ibrahim to Zourab Tsiskaridze.

The data are too comprehensive to list in a post (180 players in all have taken part over 4 years), but you can take a look at the spreadsheets yourself.  There are separate sheets for each year of the competition, as well as for each team, in addition to a master list of all players.
