Montreal Royal (UFA)

The Montreal Royal are a professional ultimate team based in Montreal, Quebec. The Royal compete in the Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA) as a member of the East Division. The team was the second Canadian franchise to join the UFA – originally branded as the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) – after the Toronto Rush.^[2] The Royal play their home games at Claude-Robillard Sports Complex in Montreal, Quebec. They played their inaugural game on April 19, 2014, where they hosted the Toronto Rush and lost by a score of 22-14.^[3] In this game, the Royal broke the UFA attendance record previously held by the Rush with more than 3,000 fans.^[4][5] The team name has several references: a spring Association de Ultimate de Montréal league team called Royal that the co-owners play on, the Montreal hill Mount Royal, and a nod to the former minor league professional baseball team Montreal Royals.^[6]
