History
The team's previous owner, Bob Berger sold the Chiefs to Genex Communications in 2004 who renamed them Summum Chiefs after one of Genex's magazines, Summum. Genex sold the team after only one season to a group from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu who moved it there for the 2005-2006 season. The Saint-Jean Summum Chiefs won the Futura cup in 2006-2007, after ironically having played their last two playoff series in their former home, the Colisée de Laval. They had also won the cup as the Laval Chiefs in 2001-2002 and 2002-2003.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“When the landscape buckles and jerks around, when a dust column of debris rises from the collapse of a block of buildings on bodies that could have been your own, when the staves of history fall awry and the barrel of time bursts apart, some turn to prayer, some to poetry: words in the memory, a stained book carried close to the body, the notebook scribbled by hand—a center of gravity.”
—Adrienne Rich (b. 1929)
“... the history of the race, from infancy through its stages of barbarism, heathenism, civilization, and Christianity, is a process of suffering, as the lower principles of humanity are gradually subjected to the higher.”
—Catherine E. Beecher (1800–1878)
“Let it suffice that in the light of these two facts, namely, that the mind is One, and that nature is its correlative, history is to be read and written.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
