The Northern Super League has seen record-breaking attendance and a series of upset results. After breaking the league's attendance record with 17,077 fans at Stade Saputo on August 29, the Calgary Wild has maintained an impressive streak, not losing a match since Week 15. The team's recent victories include a 1-0 win over the Halifax Tides, and they're now five points clear of second place.

The Mighty Maroons, on the other hand, have been on a mission to prove their inaugural season wasn't a fluke, winning two and drawing two of their last four games. The Ottawa Rapid, once untouchable, has since lost every game except for a 2-2 draw with Toronto. With only six weeks left in the season, the jostling for playoff positions is intense, with the Tides and Rapid just a few wins apart.
