For the third season in a row, a Canadian Major League Soccer team is on the clock to make the first selection at the MLS SuperDraft being held on Thursday at the Indiana Convention Center in Indianapolis. Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping . Toronto FC, who finished last in league standings in 2012, will have its choice of a crop of promising young players as it holds the number-one pick. In fact, the early part of the draft will have a very Canadian flavour as Toronto FC also owns the third pick overall. Vancouver Whitecaps, who picked first overall in 2011, will make two top 10 selections, picking out of the fifth and 10th spots. Montreal Impact, the team that made Duke Universitys Andrew Wenger the first pick of the 2012 MLS SuperDraft, will choose out of the eighth slot. With no clear cut number one prospect on the board, there is a lot of debate raging about which name will be called to kick off the draft. University of Louisville Cardinals defender Andrew Farrell is considered to be the top prospect available on the draft board. He is a physically imposing back-line presence who could shore up any teams defensive core. Oakville, Ontarios Kyle Bekker, who plays midfield at Boston College, is also expected to be a very high selection in the 2013 draft. Considered to play more of a holding over attacking style of game, Bekker was a member of the Canadian Olympic Mens soccer team that participated in the 2012 CONCACAF qualifying tournament. University of Connecticut midfielder Carlos Alvarez is another hot prospect, so much so that it is expected if he isnt taken with the first overall choice, the team sitting in the second position, Chivas USA will be making him their selection. The Los Angeles native brings a lot of different skills to the table including an ability to make great passes going forward to propel an offence. Toronto FCs new president and general manager Kevin Payne could also choose to make a big splash in his first draft in charge of his new club and trade one or both picks in a package to acquire more seasoned players who could provide more immediate help to a struggling franchise. Last years top pick Wenger appeared in 23 games for the Impact, starting seven times, and scored four goals in his debut season. Following the flurry of early Canadian action in the draft, only the Impact hold picks outside of the top 10. They have the 18th selection in the first round, as well as the 27th and 32nd picks, which are both in the second round. Toronto FC also holds the first pick in the 2013 MLS Supplemental Draft.

After losing back-to-back games, the Kings might have been feeling some pressure coming home for Game Six, their series lead suddenly in jeopardy, but the game tilted midway through the first period when Devils right winger Steve Bernier received a major penalty and game misconduct for boarding, after he flattened Kings defenceman Rob Scuderi with a hit from behind. Cheap Jerseys China . The Orioles, who had a season-high six-game winning streak halted in Sundays loss at Boston, took the first game of the twinbill by a 4-1 score.

ALAMEDA, Calif. -- Linebacker Rolando McClain remained a member of the Oakland Raiders on Thursday despite being told to stay out of practice for a second straight day and not to report to the team facility. The former first-round pick is stuck in limbo a day after being sent out of practice by coach Dennis Allen for undisclosed reasons. "Theres going to be consequences to his actions and its a team-related issue," Allen said. "I dont really want to get into the details of it. We asked him not to come to practice today." Allen said he talked with McClain on Thursday and that McClain was told not to report to the teams facility as the Raiders (3-8) prepare for Sundays home game against the Cleveland Browns. Allen said McClain has not been suspended and remains on the 53-man roster but would not speculate on what the future held for the linebacker. "This is something that weve got to make a decision as an organization, and were going to make sure that we make the right decision," Allen said. McClain was the eighth overall pick in the 2010 draft after helping Alabama win a national championship. He has struggled so far in his career and has had his playing time sharply reduced in recent weeks. In 41 career games with Oakland, McClain had 6 1/2 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, no fumble recoveries and did little to help improve Oaklands struggling run defence. After being essentially an every down player for the first two years of his career, McClain was demoted after the first month of this season. He was replaced by rookie Miles Burris in nickel packages because of his struggles in pass coverage and because the coaching staff believed he tired too easily playing every down. He has gone from playing more than 90 per cent of defensive snapps to just over half the past seven games. Cheap Jerseys Wholesale. McClain also had problems off the field. He was involved in a shooting in Alabama last November when he left the team briefly during the season to attend a family funeral. McClain had been convicted of four misdemeanours in May but he appealed and the charges were recently dropped when the accuser told prosecutors he no longer wanted to pursue the case. If McClain does not play Sunday, recently acquired Omar Gaither would start in his place against the Browns. Gaither was signed by Oakland on Nov. 14 to replace the injured Travis Goethel. In two games, Gaither has only played on special teams but the coaches say he has learned the new system quickly. "Its all similar," Gaither said. "Youve just got to learn the lingo. One coach calls it one thing, another coach calls it a different thing. The toughest part is the language, but theres only 11 guys, so theres only so many different things you can do." Gaither started 40 games over six combined seasons with Philadelphia and Carolina, playing middle and outside linebacker. He has 393 tackles, six sacks, 25 passes defenced, two interceptions, one forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in his career. NOTES: The game Sunday will be blacked out in the Bay Area, ending a streak of 13 consecutive games telecast since the start of the 2011 season. ...
