Un joueur en colère and C’est moi le meilleur available at Montreal Impact boutiques
The first two volumes of the Objectif l’Impact youth book series, published by Éditions de la Bagnole, will be launched at Stade Saputo before the game against Columbus Crew SC (TICKETS – TVA Sports, 98,5FM and TSN Radio 690), this Saturday, May 13, at 5pm, at a cost of $12.95 per book. One dollar for each book sold will be given to the Montreal Impact Foundation.
Emmanuel Lauzon, author of the Un joueur en colère volume, and Pierre Szalowski, who wrote C'est moi le meilleur!, will be at Stade Saputo for a book signing session. Supporters will also be able to benefit from a photo booth to create their very own personalized player card, under section 133, from the opening of the doors at 3:30pm; the same cards of both volumes’ heroes that are on the back cover of the books.
