When FC Montreal hit its highs, the level of talent within the squad was evident, but for a second consecutive season a slow start that was marked by the side’s inexperience meant a playoff berth was too far out of reach when the club finally hit its stride.

The season did include the landmarks of the first two players to make the move from the team to the Montreal Impact, with solid midfielder David Choiniere and exciting forward Ballou Jean-Yves Tabla both being signed to Homegrown Player contracts, while others coming through the system show great promise for the future.
