History
In 2013, the club joined the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec, a Division III league, fielding a team in the men's division.[2] During their inaugural season, they won both the League title and the League Cup.[3][4]
They once again finished as league champions in 2015 and 2016.[5] By winning the league title, they participated in the Inter-Provincial Cup, which was created in 2014, against the champion of League1 Ontario to determine the Canadian Division III champion.[6] In 2015, they were defeated by the Oakville Blue Devils,[7] but in 2016, they won the title by defeating Vaughan Azzurri.[8]
They added a team in the women's division of the PLSQ for the 2019 season with Lakers du Lac Saint-Louis, which was run by the Association Régionale de Soccer du Lac St-Louis of which they are a member, transferring their team to CSMRO.[9][10]
In 2019, the club partnered with Major League Soccer club Montreal Impact, joining their Centre d'identification et perfectionnement (scouting and development centre).[11]
