The Voyageurs Cup is often seen by fans as irrelevant, despite its great importance and history to soccer in Montréal. After the historic Champions League performance of 2015, it is time the trophy came back to Stade Saputo.
The Amway Canadian Championship begins in a mere month, and to the victor belong the spoils. However, the spoils of winning the Voyageurs Cup is hardly a simple trophy. No, the spoils of that tournament are a place in the CONCACAF Champions League. A place that Vancouver now holds, instead of Montréal, despite the superior record of the Impact in that league against the other Canadian teams.
