history
The Castors de Sherbrooke from the Québec Major Junior Hockey League were relocated from Sherbrooke to Saint-Jean in 1982 and renamed Castors de Saint-Jean. Their greatest success before their renaming succeeded the Castors with reaching the second round of the playoffs for the Coupe du Président in the 1985/86 season, in which they were subject to the Olympiques de Hull in the best-of-nine series with a sweep . In the remaining seasons, the Castors always qualified for the playoffs, but failed either in the first round or the playoff qualification.
Following the 1988/89 season, the team was renamed Lynx de Saint-Jean, but could only reach the playoffs twice (in the 1992/93 and 1994/95 seasons), in which the team each failed in the first round. In the summer of 1995, the franchise was finally relocated to Rimouski , where it has since participated in the QMJHL gaming operations under the name Océanic de Rimouski .
