History
Original Remparts
The original Québec Remparts team existed from 1969 to 1985. It was this team that won a Memorial Cup in 1971, featuring future NHL Hall-of-Famer Guy Lafleur. The team also won the President's Cup five times. This edition of the Remparts is known to have the most American-born players on the roster every season.After the 1984-85 season, the team went into receivership for three seasons then was resurrected. After returning to play the team moved to Longueuil to become the Longueuil Collège Français. The team played for three seasons, then in 1991 they moved to Verdun to become the Verdun Collège Français. The franchise ceased operations in 1994.
Current Remparts
The current Remparts franchise was granted for the 1990-91 season, and were known as the Beauport Harfangs, again based in the Quebec City Metro Area, before moving to Quebec City in 1997. They are considered as one of the most popular Canadian Hockey League teams, as they regulary draw over 8,000 spectators per game. The team claims the history and records of the original Remparts, similarly to the way the current Cleveland Browns claim the history of the original franchise that moved to Baltimore.On May 28th, 2006, the Quebec Remparts won the Memorial Cup, beating the Moncton Wildcats 6-2 in the finals. Patrick Roy became the seventh coach to win the cup on his rookie year, the first to do so since Claude Julien with the Hull Olympiques in 1997. It was also the first time in history the finals involved two teams from the QMJHL. Quebec won the cup with out winning a league championship and without hosting the event, another first in Memorial Cup history.
