The Ottawa Fury Football Club , commonly known as the Ottawa Fury , is a Canadian football - Franchise of the USL Championship in Ottawa .
The team was founded in 2011 and played in the North American Soccer League from 2014 to 2016 .
The team is an official partner of the Major League Soccer franchise Montreal Impact .
history
From 2005 to 2013, the Ottawa Fury SC franchise existed , which played in the USL Premier Development League (USL PDL).
On June 20, 2011, NASL announced that an expansion team from Ottawa will join the league for the 2014 season. The Ottawa Sports and Entertainment Group (OSEG) should act as the owner of the franchise. After joining the NASL, the previous Ottawa Fury SC franchise was dissolved.
A Name the Team Contest was held to select the name . On February 26, 2013 it was announced that the name Ottawa Fury Football Club has the most votes and the team will therefore bear this name.
The first season could be concluded with three wins, one draw and five defeats in the middle of the table. The autumn season, however, was disappointing, so that the play-offs in the result were clearly missed.
The second year, however, was more successful. After another 6th place in spring, the team managed to secure the autumn title and thus a playoff place one match day before the end of the regular season. There you only had to give in to the New York Cosmos in the final .
The third year was again disappointing for the Fury, the spring season was going to be in 9th place and reaching the championship was clearly missed in an equally weak autumn season. Following the season, the owner OSEG announced that the team would be competing in the now upgraded United Soccer League from 2017 .
