    There was a lot of talk about the call-up NASL player Miguel Ibarra to the USMNT. You would think the same call-ups for Canadian NASL players exist. You might also assume there would be more from NASL since there is a limited number of quality Canadian Players and many of those play outside of Canada. Hoewever that isn't the case based on an article from The 11 Canada's Online Soccer Magazine:

    Canada’s latest roster is proof that there is no room at the inn for NASL players

    If you’re a supporter of either the Ottawa Fury or FC Edmonton, you might be feeling that your teams got snubbed.

    The roster for Canada’s upcoming friendlies with Iceland was released on Friday. With the European soccer season in full swing, only four players who play their professional soccer on that continent were called in. Iain Hume (Kerala Blasters) and Dejan Jakovic (Shimuzu J-Pulse) will make the trip from Asia to join the national team, which begins training January 12 in Florida. Canada plays Iceland on Jan. 16 and 19.
    And a lot of the “North-American-based” majority of the roster is made up of unattached players, players from MLS academies, even League1 Ontario. The top U-20 players are with Rob Gale’s squad, as they prepare for the CONCACAF Championships.
