The franchise was granted in 1969-70 as the Rosemont National. In 1971 they moved from Rosemont to Laval to become the Laval Voisins. In 1985 they became the Laval Titan, in 1994 they became the Laval Titan Collège Français following a merger with the Verdun Collège Français, and then in 1998 they moved to Bathurst. The "Acadie" term in the team name signifies the city's Acadian population.The franchise has won 5 President's Cups, one of which (in 1999) came during the team's tenure in Bathurst. In the Memorial Cup that year, the team finished winless in the round-robin. The most famous player that has come through the organization would undoubtedly be Mario Lemieux, who was drafted in 1984 by the Pittsburgh Penguins of the National Hockey League.
