More recently, the men's competitive team won the Open Canada Cup and the Canadian National Challenge Cup to become champions in 2006.

The organization currently fields multiple teams in both recreational and competitive divisions of the Ottawa-Carleton Soccer League and ERSL, East Region Soccer League, including youth and adult men's and women's teams.[2]
