The Voyageurs Cup, the symbol of Canadian soccer supremacy, has been in existence since 2002, four years before Toronto FC's inception. Originally, the Cup was reserved for Canadian teams in the United Soccer Leagues (USL) First Division.
And in every one of those tournaments, the Impact have been the winners of the cup.
Seven consecutive years, 2002-2008. That's a lot of leaves with your name on it, Montreal.
Sure, Toronto did have a team, but either the Lynx played second fiddle, or they just were not up to snuff with the rest of the competition.
Finally, in 2006 the Toronto Lynx threw in the towel and went down to the Premier Development League, the fourth tier in the North American Soccer Pyramid.
They knew that a certain club at a place called BMO Field was rising, and they knew that they would be unable to compete with the new force in Canada called Toronto FC.
