History

As part of the College St. Lawrence, the team went by the name "St. Lawrence College of Québec Lions" during its first three seasons. After a modest first season, the Lions reached the playoffs in their second season. The 2005–06 season saw them reach the quarterfinals in the playoffs and achieve a winning regular season record. In 2007, the team was renamed the Quebec AssurExperts. In 2008, the team was purchased and moved to Thetford Mines and rebranded as the Thetford Mines Filons. In 2010, the franchise was moved to La Tuque, Quebec and the team rebranded as the Loups de La Tuque (La Tuque Wolves). In 2014, the team relocated to Valleyfield and regained the rights to the name and logo of the previous Valleyfield Braves franchise that left the (LHJAAAQ; Quebec Junior AAA Hockey League, QJAAAHL) after the 2012–13 season to join the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH). Eleven games into the LNAH season, the original Valleyfield Braves franchise moved to Laval, Quebec and became the Laval Braves.
