#19 – Vancouver Whitecaps
Matches Played: 208
Wins: 68
Percentage: 32.7%
The first club closing in on winning a third of their matches. Entering the league in 2011, the Whitecaps struggled their first year, winning only six matches and finishing bottom of the league. Since then Vancouver has managed at least ten wins each season, but only qualified for the playoffs half of the time.
Their best year came in 2015, with 16 victories and a 2nd place finish in the Western Conference. While MLS success still evades the Whitecaps, they have managed one Canadian Championship (2015) and three Cascadia Cups (2013, ’14, & ’16).
