Zem Posted November 2, 2017 Share Posted November 2, 2017 Might as well get this started since we already have news for next season. So far it's looking like next year could be a year of firsts for the PLSQ. CS Fabrose has been announced as the league's new expansion club and there has yet to be any indication that a club will drop out of the league. If this holds up, next year would be the PLSQ's first year without losing any clubs and its first year with 8 or more teams. Fabrose will also be the first club from Laval to play in the league. In other news, there has already been a huge off-season signing announcement as five-time PLSQ Golden Boot winner Freddy Moojen has left CS Mont-Royal Outremont to sign with CS Longueuil for next season. It'll be interesting to see what CSMRO are going to do to try and recapture their "Big Club" status next season. CS Longueuil on the other hand sound absolutely terrifying with an attacking duo of Freddy Moojen and Dex Kaniki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah pretty much, only 2 of the 6 Greater Montreal clubs are on-island (CSMRO and Fabrose). There used to be more on-island clubs, but three have had to drop out over the years due to financial issues (St-Leonard, Montreal-Nord and Lakeshore). St-Hubert and CS Longueuil are both based in Longueuil on the south shore and Blainville and Lanaudiere are on the north shore. Celtix du Haut-Richelieu were announced as a future expansion club a while ago but haven't joined yet, they would be #3 outside the GMA (they're based in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, about an hour SE of Montreal). Lakeshore are apparently planning to rejoin at some point as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ansem Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 The owner who has a U18 club basically wanted to create more opportunities for players in his area to play at a higher level. (Over 2600 in his area in Laval). Good man. More people needs to do that across the country. @other provinces: Get your shit together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisinOrleans Posted November 22, 2017 Share Posted November 22, 2017 This is all excellent news. La PLSQ is one of the most interesting leagues in the country, largely because of the turnover. I used to work beside La Cité in Gatineau, and would watch some of the games when I worked late. It was decent quality soccer. I am very much looking forward to seeing AS Blainville in la Coupe des voyageurs. Realistically, there could be teams in Lévis, Trois-Rivières, Chicoutimi and Sherbrooke as well. Those cities easily have enough players to support the club - it's attracting the investment and interest that is the issue. Kudos to Couche Tard for supporting the league.

IIRC the team in Quebec City plays in Lévis most of their matches. They played a couple of games at the PEPS but all the other Also in other news, they're supposed to announce something for the women on Saturday.

I am in Lévis more often than Québec, so that might be worth checking out. Where do they play in Lévis? Also, a women's league in Québec would be amazing.

Given that FC Montréal has closed down, Le Fury d'Ottawa demoted themselves to USL, FC Edmonton is probably taking 2018 "off" and the Whitecaps shipped their USL team to Fresno in the last 12 months, I'd say that's more a problem of the entire industry, rather than a PLSQ problem.

Big_M Posted May 7, 2018 Share Posted May 7, 2018 CS Monteuil has been accepted to men's PLSQ for 2019. Second team in Laval after Fabrose. They already have a team in the women's PLSQ http://plsq.ca/actualites/le-cs-monteuil-se-joindra-a-la-pslq-masculine-en-2019 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rintaran Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Is PLSQ not streaming any of their matches this year? I was hoping to catch a few (mostly AS Blainville), but have been unable to find any links. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackdude Posted October 2, 2018 Share Posted October 2, 2018 Blainville won the league again. It was a tighter race this year especially with Mont-Royal-Outremont taking the lead with 3.5* matches remaining. However, Mont-Royal-Outremont only managed to get 1 point out of their final 2 matches while Blainville got the full 6 points. *Blainville had a potsponed game that is being played tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
