CF Montreal wins Canadian championship
Soccer I kind of understand as a game, but how the teams are selected to compete and what the standings are remain opaque to me. CF Montreal, which seemed lacklustre all season – although I admit I don’t really know when the season begins or ends either – became Canadian champion Sunday by beating the Toronto team. Where did that come from?

The impact (I refuse to use the idiotic rebrand) play in Mls and compete for the Mls championship. They have failed miserably at this this year.
In parallel, there is another totally unrelated series of games that involves any Canadian professional team (representatives from 4 different leagues currently take part). This side tournament is run by the Canadian soccer association and they play for the Voyageurs cup. This is what the team has just won.
Winning this makes them eligible for the concacaf champions league, which is a tournament of the best teams in North America / Caribbean. These are the games in the spring vs Mexican teams at Olympic stadium that are occasionally played.
