History
The franchise was granted in 1969-70 as the Rosemont National. In 1971 they moved from Rosemont to Laval to become the Laval National, and later 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. Lemieux played for the team during its tenure in Laval. Other famous franchise alumni include Mike Bossy, Gino Odjick, and Vincent Damphousse. Notable NHL alumni from Bathurst include Patrice Bergeron and Roberto Luongo. In the 1999-2000 season, the Titan had the first female to compete in the QMJHL, Charline Labonte, a seventeen-year-old Quebec goalie who was on the team for the season.
