Laval Titan


The Laval Titan was one of the names used by a junior ice hockey team in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League franchise that played in Laval, Quebec, Canada, between 1971 and 1998.

History

The Rosemont National began in the 1969–70 QMJHL season as one of the founding franchises of the QMJHL, playing in the Montreal borough of Rosemont, Quebec at the Paul Sauvé Arena. After only two seasons in Rosemont the team moved to Laval, Quebec, where they would play the next 27 years under several names. Laval National was the team's original name, but they were renamed the Laval Voisins in 1979, and then the Titan in 1985.
For the 1994–95 QMJHL season the team was renamed Laval Titan Collège Français, when the Collège Français came aboard as a sponsor, bring some of its management when the Verdun Collège Français folded in the off-season. In 1998, faced with an aging Colisée de Laval and dwindling attendance, the team moved to Bathurst, New Brunswick.
The Titan franchise was one of the most successful in the QMJHL during their time in the league, winning the President's Cup four times, in 1984, 1989, 1990 and 1993. The team participated in the Memorial Cup five times and made the final once, in 1994, when they hosted the tournament. They lost that year to the Kamloops Blazers.
The Laval team at the 1984 Memorial Cup was coached by Jean Bégin, and featured Mario Lemieux who had scored 133 goals and 282 points in 70 games during the regular season.
