Champions of junior ice hockey in the 1990s

The Chicoutimi Sagueneens have had a crack at a few national titles in their time too. They qualified for the Memorial Cup twice in the 1990s by virtue of winning the President's Cup, making them the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League champions. The Memorial Cup is the Canadian national hockey league championship, a round-robin tournament contested between the winners of the three regional leagues: the Ontario, Quebec and Western Hockey Leagues. This heyday in the 1990s came to an end in the 2000s, and since then the team has been fighting to get back on top. They play an entertaining and enterprising brand of hockey in front of legions of very devoted fans, and excitement levels are always high, especially at home games.
