History
Original Remparts
The original Québec Remparts team existed from 1969 to 1985. The Remparts were finalists for the George Richardson Memorial Trophy in 1969-70, and eastern Canadian champions in 1970-71. It was this team, which featured future Hockey Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur , that won a Memorial Cup championship in 1971. 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 were 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 was known as the Beauport Harfangs, again based in the Quebec City metropolitan area, before moving to Quebec City proper in 1997. They are considered one of the most popular Canadian Hockey League teams, as they regularly draw over 8,000 spectators per game. The team claims the history and records of the original Remparts.
On May 28, 2006, the Remparts won the Memorial Cup, beating the Moncton Wildcats 6-2 in the finals. Patrick Roy became the seventh coach to win the Cup in his rookie year behind the bench, and the first to do so since Claude Julien of the Hull Olympiques in 1997. It was also the first time in Memorial Cup history that the finals involved two teams from the QMJHL. Quebec also won the Cup without winning a league championship and without hosting the event, another first in Memorial Cup history.
