Saint-Hyacinthe Laser / Le Laser de Saint-Hyacinthe

The Saint-Hyacinthe Laser or, Le Laser de Saint-Hyacinthe, were a early-90s major junior team that played out of Stade L.P. Gaucher in Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec. The team was previously the Verdun Junior Canadiens and was sold and to Saint-Hyachinthe for the 1989-90 season. 

That 1989-90 season was notable not only for 35 wins but also because of a 17-year old goaltender named Martin Brodeur. The future hall of fame goaltender played 42 games that year and led the team to a first round win in the playoffs, the team's best playoff run in their seven year history, despite qualifying six times. The team averaged around 2,000 fans a game and 35 wins a year during Brodeur's three years with the team. 

Looking for greener pastures, the owners shopped the team around the last few seasons in Saint-Hyacinthe. The team did change hands in the summer of 1995 and a year later the team moved north to Rouyn-Noranda.
