Laval Dynamites (French: Dynamites de Laval) were a Canadian soccer team, founded in 1997. The men team (founded in 2001) was a member of the Canadian Professional Soccer League/Canadian Soccer League, the highest professional soccer league in Canada, and played in the National Division. The team played as the Montreal Dynamites in 2001 and 2002. The team essentially moved to Trois-Rivières and became the Trois-Rivières Attak for the 2007 season.
The Dynamites played their home games at Centre Sportif Bois-de-Boulogne in the city of Laval, Quebec. The team's colors were red and white.
The men team was a sister organization of the women's Laval Dynamites team, which plays in the United Soccer Leagues W-League, the second tier of women’s soccer in the United States and Canada. The women team played 1997 to 2001.
Montreal Dynamites joined the CPSL in 2001 as a expansion franchise along with Ottawa Wizards, Brampton Hitmen, and the Toronto Supra. The club was formed by a collective effort by majority shareholder Pierre Marchand, and a new group of investors which consisted of Tony Incollingo, Pietro Petruccelli and Franco Morina, a group of Montreal businessmen active in the ranks of the Quebec amateur soccer. Marchand served as the president, while Incollingo operated as the general manager. The organization hired the services of former Montreal Impact head coach Zoran Jankovic. He brought in many of his former Montreal Impact players like Nicolas Pinto, Kyriakos Selaidopolous, Leo Incollingo, Jocelyn Roy, Abraham Francois, David Fronimadis, Chris Stathopoulos, and USL veterans Philippe-Andre Moreau, Roldege Arius, and Jose Guerra.
