History
Drummondville had a QMJHL team at the foundation of the league in
1969, called the
Drummondville Rangers. However, the team folded at the end of the
1973–74 season. In
1982 the city was granted an expansion franchise, along with the
Longueuil Chevaliers. The team was named for a Quebec-based
regiment that fought in the
War of 1812, the
Canadian Voltigeurs. There is no literal translation of the name "Voltigeurs" from French into English, but "Infantrymen" or "Musketeers" captures the essence of it. The Voltigeurs have not enjoyed a tremendous amount of success on the ice in their history, and have only won the
President's Cup and
Jean Rougeau Trophy once respectively, both in
2009.
The Voltigeurs have participated in the
Memorial Cup tournament three times. In
1988 and
1991, they participated as the league runner-up and in
2009 as the league champions. In 1988 they finished last in the round-robin, but in 1991 the team made it to the Cup final, where they lost to the
Spokane Chiefs. In the 2009 Memorial Cup tournament, the Voltigeurs finished second in the round robin, but lost to the
Windsor Spitfires in the semi-finals.
