Early life edit

Lamy was born in Sherbrooke, Quebec. Lamy began playing soccer in 2005 with hometown club Dynamik Sherbrooke, where he played until 2013.[1] In 2014, he began playing for Laval-based club Les Étoiles de L'Est.[1][2]

In 2015, Lamy signed a youth contract with Italian side Alessandria.[1] However, due to a rule change by FIFA regarding minors playing abroad, the 16 year-old Lamy was prohibited from playing official matches for the club, but was still able to appear in friendlies while training with the academy.[1] He spent four months with Alessandria but was eventually forced to return to Canada.[1] After returning to Canada, Lamy joined the Montreal Impact Academy in 2016.[3] Lamy played two seasons of USSDA soccer with the Montreal Impact U18s and U19s, scoring six goals in seventeen appearances in his first year and 22 goals in 25 appearances in his second.[3]
