Montreal Impact Academy
Candidates for the 2012/2013 Graduating Class


Last week I wrote an article on Toronto FC Academy and possible candidates for the next graduating class, so with the Montréal Impact coming into Major League Soccer next season I’ve decided to do something similar showcasing some of the talented players that could get a call up. However, the situation is a little different in Montréal as they are not only an expansion side having to go through an Expansion Draft, Re-Entry Draft and the MLS Super Draft. They are also going under stadium renovations as well as being coached by a former MLS veteran and first time coach Jesse Marsch who is part of former US National Team Coach Bob Bradley's coaching tree as one of his assistants

While I don’t want or like to make comparisons between the academies of either team in my opinion I think Montréal Impact Academy is a little further along in their development of players then Toronto FC, as the players I mention in this article are only five of about eight to ten players that could easily make this list.
