history

The Canadien junior de Verdun were relocated from Verdun , Québec , to Saint-Hyacinthe , Québec, in 1989 and renamed Laser de Saint-Hyacinthe. Their greatest success achieved the team with reaching the second round of the playoffs for the Coupe du Président , the championship title of the QMJHL. In this they were eliminated after a narrow 4-3 success in the best-of-seven series against the Draveurs de Trois-Rivières with 1: 4 wins against the Tigres de Victoriaville . Then the team reached the playoffs except for the 1992/93 season, but never got beyond the first round. After seven years, the franchise was relocated to Rouyn-Noranda , Quebec, in 1996 , where it has since participated in the QMJHL's gaming operations under the name Huskies de Rouyn-Noranda .
