20062nd, Play-off Quarter-Finals

Brampton Stallions were a Canadian

soccer team, founded in 2001 as the Brampton Hitmen before changing its name in 2005. The team was a member of the Canadian Soccer League
and played in the National Division. The team went "dormant" in 2006.

The Stallions played their home games at

Brampton, Ontario, around 25 miles west of downtown Toronto
. The team's colours were black and white. The club struggled during its infant stages failing to make the postseason during its first two seasons. Until finally capturing the CPSL Championship in 2003, and ending as playoff contender during its final tenure within the league.

History

Brampton came into existence and entered the

St. Catharines Wolves.[4] Kitson struggled to achieve results for the club, which led to his dismissal from his post after going eight matches without a victory.[5]

His replacement was Joe Da Silva, who managed Brampton's first victory on August 12, 2001 in a 3–2 win over

Milodrag Akmadzic as notable signings. McLaughlin was replaced early on in the season, and Brampton founder and owner Steve Nijjar took over the rein of head coach.[8]
Nijjar would achieve a seven-game undefeated streak, and reach the semifinals of the
Ruben Flores, and Jonathan Bustamante. The Brampton franchise would clinch a postseason berth for the first time by finishing second in the Western Conference. Their first opponents in the playoffs were Toronto Croatia, where the math concluded in a 4–3 victory on penalties for Toronto.[13] The next day the league reversed the result after Toronto was caught fielding two suspend club officials.[14] The next match was a wildcard match against London City, which resulted in a 5–3 victory on penalties for Brampton.[15]

The Hitmen reached the finals after Ottawa Wizards pulled out of the playoffs. Their opponents were

Angel Velazquez, and league veterans Bayete Smith, and Paul Daccobert. Steve Nijjar, Bayete Smith, and Phil Ionadi were selected for the CPSL All-Star roster which faced Boavista F.C. in a friendly match.[22] Brampton qualified for the postseason by finishing fourth in the Western Conference. In the wild card match Brampton faced Toronto Croatia, but were eliminated by a score of 3–1.[23]

In 2005, the franchise was purchased by Electrical Contractor Joe Fuliere, and renamed the team to the Brampton Stallions.

Clayson Queiroz.[26] Dhillon led the Stallions to the playoffs by finishing second in the National Division. Unfortunately Brampton would forfeit from the playoffs after their home venue had unsuitable playing conditions, which resulted in a dispute with the leagues administration.[27][28]
The team went on hiatus after the 2006 season, and is currently a 'dormant' franchise.
