    Overall it wasn't the best year for Canadian club teams.

    Vancouver made the MLS playoffs, but it's hard to ignore the second half crash.

    Montreal was OK, but as an expansion side it always was going to be a struggle.

    Edmonton may have been the club that under performed the worst based on pre-season expectations.

    And, well, Toronto FC.

    However, there were some strong goals from all four sides. See our pick for the best below the jump and tell us which one should be named the overall club goal of the year.

    Edmonton (goal at 2:10) - Shaun Saiko

    We asked the11.ca's Steven Sandor for his thought on the Eddies goal of the year -- he should know as the club's play-by-play voice he saw them all. His pick was a 25-yard rocket by the best skill player playing in Canada that most Canadian fans aren't aware of -- Shaun Saiko. The goal is at 2:10 of the video.

    Montreal Impact - Sanna Nyassi v NER

    It's rare you see an end to end run resulting in a goal. When a nutmeg is thrown in for good measure...it's a goal for the ages.

    Vancouver Whitecaps - Darren Mattocks v TFC

    The incredible athleticism shown makes one speechless – although TFC defended as well as a typical u5 team at times last year there wasn’t much they could have done here...

    Toronto FC -- Terry Dunfield v Vancouver

    ...except score seconds later

    In a middle of a season of crud Dunfield's goal reminded TFC fans of the joy that this sport can provide. Sure, there were prettier goals scored by the Reds, but none felt as good as Dunfield's extra time winner against the Caps -- made especially sweet coming seconds after the Caps players celebrated their tying goal directly in front of the TFC supporter's groups.

    Watch Dunfield's goal here.
