history

The Rangers de Drummondville were founded in 1969 as a franchise of the Québec Major Junior Hockey League , making them one of the founding members of the league. The team served as the farm team of the New York Rangers from the National Hockey League , on whose name and logo Drummondville was based. The greatest success of the team was reaching the second round in the playoffs for the Coupe du Président in the 1971/72 season, in which it was 8-0 after an 8-2 win over the Ducs de Trois-Rivières with an 8-0 defeat clearly failed at the Remparts de Québec .

Following the 1973/74 season, the franchise was dissolved again after only five years. The void the Rangers left in the city was filled in 1982 by the Voltigeurs de Drummondville , who have since participated in the QMJHL's gaming operations.
