IP and Division 2
#1
With Montreal finding themselves relegated to Division 2 in the SSL, many questions surrounding their star player IP have been brought to light. Fans are beside themselves praying that IP chooses to stick around with the Montreal once his contract is up, as IP tends to be seen as a player that belongs in Division 1.

Fans and analysts alike have noticed that IP’s play has significantly improved when down in Division 2 and this can be attributed to the weaker competition he needs to play against, this isn’t a knock on any of these teams. The concern many fans have is with relation to the reality of the situation, how long will IP stick around to help Montreal reach Division 1 again.

Rightfully no player in their prime would like to be stuck in Division 2 when they can make a name for themselves and push for a championship in Division 1. However, IP seems to be different in this case. When interviewed by reporters IP stated that he had no intentions of leaving Montreal, as he really wanted to help the team reach Division 1 even if it meant he was stuck in Division 2 for the duration of his career. IP stated that the city and fans mean so much to him, that the only real way he sees himself leaving is if management decided that he needed to be traded to another team.

This was a sigh of relief for Montreal fans, as they know that their start left back will likely stick around for the long run with Montreal. For a player that is among the highest ranked season 2 players, this helps boost Montreals reputation if the manage to keep him around, and sign him long term. Only time will tell if IP decides to stick with Montreal for real, or if he is just saying what he is saying to appease the fans.

With that being said, Montreal is trending in the correct direction, and I would say management is doing a great job so far. If Montreal keeps up this trend and cohesion they can easily find themselves back in Division 1.
