history
The Chevaliers de Longueuil were founded in 1982 as a franchise of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League . The Chevaliers ended their debut season with a record of 37 wins, 29 losses and four draws, making them the most successful expansion team of the Canadian Hockey League of all time. In the following playoffs, the team failed only in the finals in the best-of-seven series with 1: 4 wins to Junior de Verdun .
The following year Longueil lost in the final against the Voisins de Laval . After they had missed the playoffs twice as division fifth, the Chevaliers completed their best season in the 1986/87 season by first winning the Lebel division and then winning the Coupe du Président . As champions of the QMJHL, the team qualified for the final tournament for the championship of the Canadian Hockey League , the Memorial Cup , in the semifinals of which they failed with two defeats at the Medicine Hat Tigers from the Western Hockey League . Despite this success, the franchise was then relocated to Victoriaville , Québec , where it has since participated in the QMJHL game operations under the name Tigres de Victoriaville .
