History

[edit]

The franchise entered the QJHL in 2002 as the Gladiateur de St. Eustache

In the Summer of 2008, the team moved to become the Sainte-Thérèse Nordiques.

In the Summer of 2009, the team was moved again to Laval, Quebec. The official name was Rousseau-Sports Junior AAA Laval. In the 2008–09 season Eliezer Sherbatov led the team and was third in the league in scoring.[1][2][3] In the playoffs, he helped the team win the championship while leading the playoffs with 15 goals in 18 games.[4]

In 2010, the name was changed again to the Laval Arctic. One season later they became the St-Leonard Arctic. After the start of the 2017 season the club re-branded once more, this time becoming the Montreal-North Arctic.

The North Arctic folded after the 2018-19 season.
