2008, Nash was named to his second consecutive USL-1 First All-League Team, en route to another USL-1 Championship on October 12, 2008, beating the Puerto Rico Islanders 2–1 in Vancouver. The win marked Nash's fourth league title (including the USL's predecessor, the A-League). With the departure of Jeff Clarke following the Whitecaps' championship, Nash succeeded Clarke as team captain on January 26, 2009. He missed the final five games of the regular season after pulling his hamstring in a game against the Rochester Rhinos on August 29. He returned in time for the playoff opener against the Carolina RailHawks. In the midst of Vancouver's playoff run, Nash was named to the Second All-League team. Despite finishing the 2009 regular season as the seventh and final seed in the playoffs, Nash and the Whitecaps advanced to the finals for the second consecutive year, eliminating the RailHawks and Timbers, the league's top two seeds. In the first leg of the final against the Montreal Impact, however, Nash was assessed a red card in the 52nd minute after delivering a tackle to Roberto Brown, suspending him for the remainder of the two-leg final. Brown was carried off the field on a stretcher but quickly returned to finish the game, which Montreal won 3–2.
