Championship match available via webcast

This Wednesday’s Nutrilite Canadian Championship match between host Toronto FC and defending champion Impact de Montréal will be streamed live on torontofc.ca and corussports.com. The match, the second of six in the 2009 competition, can be watched live starting at 20.00 ET / 17.00 PT. The webcast will feature the same live video as shown on the in-stadium videoboard at BMO Field, but will also feature play-by-play commentary in either English or French.



Just last week, Toronto FC kicked off the 2009 Nutrilite Canadian Championship with a 1:0 victory over Vancouver Whitecaps FC at BMO Field. This week’s match is also at BMO Field, marking the Impact’s first return to Toronto since winning the championship last 22 July 2008. In that last meeting, the Impact played to a 1:1 draw with Toronto FC to finish first in the standings.



The six-match 2009 Nutrilite Canadian Championship runs 6 May to 18 June in Toronto, Montréal and Vancouver. Each team plays home and away against two opponents. The top team not only wins the Voyageurs Cup, but also advances to the 2009-10 CONCACAF Champions League season. Last year, the Impact de Montréal won the Nutrilite Canadian Championship before reaching the quarter-final stage of the 2008-09 CONCACAF Champions League.



Four of this year’s six Nutrilite Canadian Championship matches are broadcast live on Sportsnet. As this Wednesday’s match is one of two matches not available on television, Toronto FC is providing the free live webcast on its website.
