History
Established as a youth soccer club, the club was founded in 1982.[1] As part of their 40th anniversary in 2022, the club unveiled a new logo, incorporating several elements of their arrondissement's coat of arms and logo while preserving the shape of its old coat of arms – the crown at the top symbolizing the coat of arms of Saint-Laurent, the three points of the latter refer to the three spheres of the Borough's emblem, representing the three main cultural communities at the time of its creation (the French, English and Jewish populations), and the triangular shape in the centre representing mountain peaks.[2]
It was announced that they would enter the men's division of Première Ligue de soccer du Québec starting in 2022.[3] Their desire to join the PLSQ had begun five years earlier, but they delayed their entry as they waited for some of their youth players to age,[4] as well as due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5] Their debut match occurred on May 7 against Ottawa South United,[6] which they won 6–0.[7] They finished in second place in their inaugural season.[8][9]
In 2023, the club won the Ligue1 Québec (re-branded from the PLSQ) title, qualifying the club to compete in the 2024 Canadian Championship.[10] In addition, they also won the 2023 Coupe L1QC, completing the league and cup double.[11] In their Canadian Championship debut, they were drawn against the HFX Wanderers of the Canadian Premier League in the first round,[12][13] whom they defeated in penalty kicks, becoming the first semi-pro side from Québec to defeat a professional club, to advance to the quarter-final round against Major League Soccer club Toronto FC.[14][15]
