Toronto had 2 of the first 4 picks? They must have had a rough season last year. They are getting a good one in O'Brian White. He knows how to score.

Actually, only the 4th pick was their own. They acquired the 2nd pick (and the 13th) via trade.

Joey Gjertson of the USL team, Montreal Impact is taken down by a sliding challenge as he battles for the ball against Toronto FC's Carl Robinson. The match resulted in a 1-1 draw and Montreal qualified for the CONCACAF Champions League.
