The Montreal Royal is a professional ultimate franchise based in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.[2] They are members of the Eastern Division of the Ultimate Frisbee Association (UFA). The team was the second Canadian franchise to join the UFA – originally branded as the American Ultimate Disc League (AUDL) – after the Toronto Rush.[3] 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.[4] In this game, the Royal broke the UFA attendance record previously held by the Rush with more than 3,000 fans.[5][6] 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.[7]
