2013 Vancouver Whitecaps FC season

January 23, 2013 Vancouver Whitecaps FC announce the signings of Corey Hertzog and Tom Heinemann to contracts.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Chicago Fire played to a 1–1 draw on February 23, 2013, in the final game for both teams at the Carolina Challenge Cup.

[7] The following day it was announced that Gershon Koffie signed a contract extension and obtained a Canadian residency card which frees an international roster slot.

A first-half goal from Darren Mattocks was not enough on March 23, 2013, as Vancouver Whitecaps fell to a 2–1 defeat against Houston Dynamo at BBVA Compass Stadium.

April 16, 2013 The Whitecaps announced Ben Fisk and Emmanuel Adjetey have joined USL Pro side Charleston Battery on season-long loans.

He joined the Whitecaps after being selected by Vancouver with the 10th pick in Stage 2 of the 2012 MLS Re-Entry Draft on December 14, 2012.

April 20, 2013 The Whitecaps suffered their 3rd road defeat to start the season with a 2–0 loss against FC Dallas.

April 24, 2013 In the first leg of the Amway Canadian Championship semifinal, the Whitecaps needed a late winner by substitute Heinemann to come from behind and defeat FC Edmonton by a score of 3–2 at Commonwealth Stadium.

April 30, 2013 Whitecaps announced Bryce Alderson has joined Charleston Battery for the season on loan.

The win gives the Whitecaps a date with the Montreal Impact after they defeated Toronto FC 6–2 in the other semifinal.

After the Pumas opened the scoring in the 6' minute then Caps came back in the second-half with goals by Cam Hundal and Spencer DeBoice.

May 11, 2013 The Whitecaps defeated LA Galaxy 3–1 to earn their first MLS victory since March 9 vs. Columbus Crew.

Harry Lakhan and Spencer DeBoice each scored a brace, with Niall Cousens capping off the 5 goal outbreak.

Whitecaps got goals by Cam Hundal, Harry Lakhan and the winner in injury time by Michael Winter to seal the victory.

July 6, 2013 The Whitecaps won their first Cascada match in 12 games with a 2–0 victory over the Seattle Sounders FC.

The keeper stormed off the field when play resumed and the final whistle blew but later made a public apology to his teammates and the fans.

July 17, 2013 The Whitecaps U23 finished off the PDL season with a 4–1 win over North Sound SeaWolves FC.

The Whitecaps announced a contract extension for central back Andy O'Brien until the end of the 2014 season.

August 10, 2013 David Ousted earned his first career MLS clean sheet in his home debut at BC Place with a 2–0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes.

The 2013 MLS season will see an unbalanced schedule due to an uneven number of teams with the addition of the Montreal Impact.

The odd number of matches means Vancouver will host the Timbers twice and Sounders once while visiting Seattle twice Portland once respectively.

The BC based supporters groups sponsor the Juan de Fuca Plate[41] and the Washington State teams play for the Ruffneck Cup.

Founded in 2012 by supporters of the Vancouver Whitecaps and Victoria Highlanders, the Juan de Fuca Plate is meant to spur interest across British Columbia in soccer at the semi-professional level, and to inspire good-natured rivalry between the competing cities.

Standings in regular season games between all USL PDL teams in British Columbia count towards the championship.

The first game of the 2013 Juan de Fuca Plate will take place May 17, 2013 at UBC Thunderbird Stadium in Vancouver, British Columbia.

The first Juan de Fuca Plate match was on May 13, 2012, at Royal Athletic Park in Victoria, British Columbia between the Whitecaps U-23s and the Highlanders.

The Plate was first awarded July 11 at Swangard Stadium in Burnaby, British Columbia to the victorious team, the Vancouver Whitecaps FC U-23s.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC debut at BC Place on October 2 against Cascadia rivals and expansion cousins, Portland Timbers.
