History
editThe club was originally formed in 1978 as a youth soccer club.[1]
In 2012, the semi-professional club was established to play in the newly formed Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, as one of the founding members.[2] Their home field was located at Parc Illinois.[3] Former Montreal Impact player Bill Sedgewick was named as the team's head coach.[4] Cédric Carrié won the Ballon d’Or in the 2012 season as the league's top player.[5][6] In 2013, they advanced to the finals of the League Cup, losing to CS Mont-Royal Outremont 2-0.[7] The club did not return for the 2014 PLSQ season, due to the high financial costs associated with operating a team.[8]
In 2021, they joined CF Montreal's Scouting and Development Centre.[9]
