How many players can you name on the new-look roster for the Impact?

That’s a good question to ask the average Montreal sports fan and the response could be a concern for the Impact after an off-season that saw the departure of head coach Mauro Biello, captain Patrice Bernier and Ballou Tabla — three homegrown talents — along with fan favourites Laurent Ciman, Hassoun Camara, Ambroise Oyongo, Hernan Bernardello and designated-player Blerim Dzemaili.

Goalkeeper Evan Bush, the longest-serving player on the Impact, dating to 2011 — the year before the club joined Major League Soccer — was asked Thursday morning whether the team has lost some of its connection with the fan base.

“Maybe,” Bush said at the team’s Centre Nutrilait training facility before heading to the Olympic Stadium for practice. “That’s for the marketing department and the media guys to worry about. It’s not something that we can worry about. Our job is to put a good product on the field and try to win games and whatever way that might happen, so be it. I think the fans will be a little bit more excited if we’re winning games as opposed to having guys around that they’ve gotten to know. Of course, if you win games then the new guys become faces of the franchise. From our standpoint, that’s what we’re worried about and hopefully we’re building a foundation right now to build toward that.”
