Who would have thought, the 23-year-old Quebec city phenom Anthony Jackson-Hamel, who made his professional soccer debut in 2014 for the Montreal Impact as a substitute against Toronto F.C in a 2-0 loss that day, would be such a factor in saving the Montreal Impact’s sinking ship this early on in the 2017 campaign.
It was Hamel who helped the Impact salvage 2 games, one where he scored with the back of his heel at stoppage time against Atlanta United, and more recently when he helped propel the Impact from a 3-0 deficit by putting up 2 of the 3 goals necessary to secure a meagre tie in last Saturday's event in Philadelphia.
