History

The 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] The club did not return for the 2014 PLSQ season, due to the high financial costs associated with operating a team.[7]
