A quartet from the Academy are Expected to Impact Montreal

By Sean McCaffery, December 5, 2020

No idea of how strong or how good of a trumor it is the that the Monteal Impact will be changing their name, I for one think it is a bad idea, it has been an identity for local soccer for decades and would hurt them.

 The four brought up to the first team are Jean-Aniel Assi, Sean Rea, Nathan-Dylan Saliba & Rida Zouhi, they are first time pros all and with deals including a 3 year option. As they are valid now, the 4 are good to go for the CCL game Dec, 15 with Olimpia at 8 p.m. ET in Orlando.
