MONTREAL — Striker Brian Ching still misses Houston but says he’s ready to do all he can to help the expansion Montreal Impact win games in Major League soccer.

The former Houston Dynamo star and U.S. International was among 22 players who took part Monday in the opening day of training camp on an indoor pitch at Marie-Victorin College.

Ching was the Impact’s first pick in the MLS expansion draft in November. The Hawaii native had said he would retire if selected because he wanted to play out his career in Houston but changed his mind and agreed to report to Montreal.

“I’ll be completely honest with you guys: I would have loved to finish my career in Houston, especially because they’re opening up a brand new stadium there,” said Ching, his voice cracking a little with emotion. “It was something I was planning on, but I’m a professional and you don’t always get what you want.

“Over the past two months I’ve come to cope with that and deal with it and come to this city and play for my teammates and the fans. For me it’s about being a professional and winning games. It doesn’t matter where I’m at. I’m a competitive guy and I’m going to give everything I can.”
