According to CKAC, a D2 club associated with the Impact (reserves) will see the light of day in 2006. It will be in the province, most probably in Quebec City, Sherbrooke or Trois-Rivieres.

Why can't they put a team in Atlantic Canada ?

Halifax has a nice stadium, and 389,000 people in the city.

Saint John has a 5000-seat stadium and 122,000 people in the city.

Why can't some local dude do it for the region? Call them the Halifax Trailer Park Boys.

I'm betting a PDL team. Quebec City would be a great spot, but I bet Laval or Rive Sud gets the nod as all you need is 250 a game and both are close to MTL for call-up and practices.

yes yes but of course....im seeing BUBBLES as a lone striker.....Ricky in the midfield looking for some disgarded cig. butts, and of course Julian will be in nets, with a rum and coke in his hand.....AWSOME :D

I would think the Impact would keep things within the province as the provincial government is a big sponsor of theirs.

Yeah, it's always about ownership and never about population. Do we have to repeat it every time?

It will be D2, not PDL and it will be "somewhere we played this season".

The Montreal supporters don't know if they should like or dislike this team, who could one day turn into a fierce rival.

It is not even known if the d2 will be around next year.With N Virginia

Long Island/Pittsburgh/Wilmington all on the brink.Long Island and pittsburgh have hinted they will be going to the pdl.

That level has been in peril for years. I suspect it'll stick around. I hope so as I think it would be a viable league for places like Ottawa (as a next step for the Fury) or Hamilton (next step for the Steelers?).
