Impact reveal 2010 Calendar

Montreal Sports - Montreal Impact

I don’t know about you, but I can’t wait for the 2010 Impact season to arrive. After a championship victory in what eventually was the last USL season, I’m anticipating the new USSF D-2 league’s new layout and the competition 2 divisions (USL and NASL) can bring to the mix. 

This past  Monday, the Montreal Impact revealed their 2010 schedule in the USSF Second Division. The Impact will begin their championship title defence starting Sunday, April 11th against the Austin Aztex in Austin with their home opener later that month against the Portland Timbers on April 25th.
