History

Hull Olympiques logo
Before joining the "Q", the team was a member of the Central Junior A Hockey League, known as the Hull Hawks. Upon joining the QMJHL they became the Hull Fesitvals, and in 1976, they became the Hull Olympiques; the team name was changed to the Gatineau Olympiques when the city of Hull was amalgamated into Gatineau in 2002.

The Olympiques have won the President's Cup six times, most recently in 2003-04. The team has been to four Memorial Cup finals, losing three (1986, 2003 and 2004) and winning the 1997 Memorial Cup which they also hosted. The Olympiques play out of the Robert Guertin Arena.
