MONTREAL - The Montreal Impact will play its last two preseason games of training camp this Saturday at noon against the Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM) Citadins, at the Bell Sports Complex, in Brossard, and Tuesday, April 14 at 3 pm against Syracuse University, in Syracuse.

"These two games are very important because it will give us the chance to work on tactical details one last time before we kick off the season," said Impact head coach John Limniatis. "Players will have to prove that they can play on the starting line-up for their first game of the season in Charleston."

It will be Montreal's 14th and 15th exhibition games since the beginning of training camp, January 7. The Impact has a record of nine wins, two losses and two ties.

"So far the camp is very positive," added Limniatis. "We had the chance to play a lot of exhibition games to see at what level of preparation we are at. Everybody is looking forward to the season but right now we have to conclude the camp on a good note."

The Impact will kick off its regular season on Saturday, April 18, against the Battery in Charleston. The Impact will play its home opener Saturday, May 9, as they play host to the Rochester Rhinos at Saputo Stadium. Season tickets are currently available by calling 514-328-3668.
