Name change
The original name for the franchise was the Arsenal SC, however, lawyers representing the English club Arsenal F.C. demanded that the team change its name, because they hold exclusive rights for that trademark in Canada. Starting with the 2014 W-League season, the team name was changed from Quebec City Amiral SC to Quebec Dynamo ARSQ. The league ended following the 2015 season, however, the club re-formed in 2018 to play in the Première Ligue de soccer du Québec.
