history

The original Remparts

The Remparts de Québec were founded in 1969 and won the Memorial Cup , the most important trophy in Canadian junior ice hockey, which is played among the best teams in the various junior leagues, in their very first season . Member of the Memorial Cup team was the current member of the Hockey Hall of Fame Guy Lafleur . There were also a total of five championship titles in the LHJMQ. The Remparts were known for being the team with the most US players.

After the 1984-85 season, the game was stopped because they had filed for bankruptcy . The team continued to exist under the bankruptcy administration and resumed gaming operations in 1988, but under the name Longueuil Collège Français , since the team had moved to Longueuil . After three years the team moved to Verdun to play under the name Verdun Collège Français . In 1994 the franchise was dissolved.

The new Remparts

The Remparts' new franchise was founded in 1990 and played for seven years under the name Beauport Harfangs in a suburb of Québec City . In 1997 the team moved to Québec City, where the team was renamed Remparts de Québec. It is one of the most popular teams in the Canadian Hockey League , which consists of the QMJHL, the WHL and the OHL . Over 8,000 visitors come to almost every game.

On May 28, 2006, the Remparts won the Memorial Cup final against the Moncton Wildcats . The Remparts, since they were neither champions of the QMJHL nor host of the final series, actually did not qualify for the final round of the Memorial Cup, where the champions of the OHL and the WHL were also represented. However, since the Moncton Wildcats won the QMJHL championship title and hosted the Memorial Cup finals at the same time, the Remparts were able to move up as runner-up champions. In the final both teams faced each other and there was the first final with two QMJHL teams. Master coach of the Remparts was Patrick Roy , NHL goalkeeper legend, multiple Stanley Cup winner and member of the Hockey Hall of Fame .

For their 349 goals in the regular season (2005/06), the team was awarded the Trophée Luc Robitaille .

In November 2014, the owners of Remparts sold the franchise to the Québecor media group . For the following season, the team moved to the new Center Vidéotron , which is also operated by Québecor and has 18,259 spectators.
