The Quebec Nordiques were a professional hockey team in the National Hockey League (NHL) from 1979 to 1995, and they played at the Colisée de Québec arena. The team’s best results were in 1982 and 1985 when they made it to the Stanley Cup semi-finals. The Nordiques were known for having a large proportion of French-speaking players. A huge rivalry existed with the Montreal Canadiens, between the teams and also among their fans. In 1995, the team was sold, renamed and moved to Denver, Colorado. What do you remember about that time?

Games between the Quebec Nordiques and the Montreal Canadiens were always played with great rivalry. This was especially true of the French-speaking players on both teams. In this photo, Canadiens forwards Mario Tremblay and Réjean Houle celebrate a goal scored against Nordiques goaltender Daniel Bouchard at the Colisée de Québec.
