With Vancouver Whitecaps poised to to win the tournament on goals difference, Toronto surprised everyone with an away 6:1 victory in the rain in Montréal.

The TELUS Canadian Championship is Canada Soccer's highest domestic professional soccer competition and serves as a qualification route for Canadian professional clubs into Concacaf Champions Cup and onto the FIFA Club World Cup.
Dubbed the Battle of the North, the Championship sets itself apart from all North American professional sports competitions that operate on both sides of the border as the only one to hold an all-Canadian competition that leads to the international stage.
The Voyageurs Cup has been awarded to the Canadian Championship winner since 2008. Created by the Voyageurs Canadian Supporters group, the trophy represents Canadian fans' commitment to the game in our country.
