History

The club was originally formed in 1978.[1] Prior to joining the PLSQ, the club played in the Ligue de Soccer Elite Quebec, which is the top amateur division in Quebec.[2]

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.[3] They won the inaugural PLSQ championship, coming in first place out of the five teams.[4] In 2013, they played an exhibition match against the Haiti national football team.[5] The club did not return for the 2014 PLSQ season, due to the high financial costs associated with operating a team.[6]
