The Rouyn-Noranda Huskies are a junior ice hockey team of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The team is based out of Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec. The team plays its home games at the Iamgold Arena (previously known as Dave Keon Arena). The Huskies finished first overall in the QMJHL, during the 2007–08 QMJHL season, winning the Jean Rougeau Trophy. ==History== The Rouyn-Noranda franchise started out as the Montreal Junior Canadiens. While in Montreal, the team won three Memorial Cups in 1950, 1969 and 1970. The team has since played in Verdun and Saint-Hyacinthe. On April 25, 1996, Sylvain Danis and Dave Morin, then owners of the Saint-Hyacinthe Laser, decided to transfer the team to Rouyn-Noranda. Aware that the ''"National Capital of Copper"'' is a city which breathes hockey, they were confident that it was the best decision for the franchise. Former NHL Hall of Famers from the area include Dave Keon and Jacques Laperrière. The Huskies name was chosen to represent the tough and determined nature of the local citizens and mining community. The team is currently owned entirely by local interests and all the decisions of the sixteen shareholders are made in the interest of the team and the city which it represents. Since 1996, the Huskies have won two regular season division titles, in 1998 and 2005. Rouyn-Norand finished first overall in the QMJHL in 2007–08, winning its first Jean Rougeau Trophy, posting 97 points in the regular season. The team is still in search of its first President's Cup since relocating to Rouyn-Noranda. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rouyn-Noranda Huskies」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
