Soccer fans in Hudson and St-Lazare will be able to see the Montreal Impact close to home.

The Impact will be holding a public practice at the Westwood Junior soccer field in St-Lazare on Tuesday, June 5 from 6 to 9 p.m.

Distroscale

As part of the Impact’s public training tour, a group of 11 players will play a series of brief soccer games with youngsters from the local soccer club.

The Impact players will also spend some time meeting local soccer fans and signing autographs under the partner tents.

The event is organized by the St-Lazare Hudson Soccer Club

A large crowd is expected so the town is asking participants to “adopt a mode of active transportation (i.e.: walking or cycling) to make their way to the soccer celebration site.”

The Westwood field is located at 2876 St-Louis St.

The town also said that residents “are invited to exercise extreme caution when driving alongside Westwood Park during the late afternoon and early evening of Tuesday, June 5.”

The main streets affected include Bordelais and St-Louis to the north, all the way up to Evergreen Elementary to the south as well as perpendicular streets: Westwood, Hunt, Nice, Sportifs and Érables.
