My Take

Dwayne De Rosario is a legitimate legend of Canadian soccer, and that context matters. A versatile attacker who could play forward or attacking midfield, he won across MLS with San Jose, Houston, Toronto, New York and D.C., and was a face of the Canadian national team for years. Building a reputation that loud in a sport long overshadowed by its American neighbor is no small feat, and his run with his hometown Toronto club must have meant the world locally. I am drawn to players who break out from their own soil onto the world stage, and his Order of Ontario suggests the person was as respected as the player.
