St-Jean Chiefs
The Saint-Jean Chiefs is a hockey team based in Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec. The team is part of the Ligue Nord-Américaine de Hockey (LNAH). The Chiefs play at the Colisée Isabelle-Brasseur.
The team started as the Saint-Lin-Laurentides Gladiateurs in 1996-1997 and moved to Sainte-Thérèse to become the Sainte-Therese Chiefs in 1997-1998. They moved to Laval in 1998-1999 and won the Futura Cup in 2001-2002 and 2002-2003 as the Laval Chiefs. The team was sold to Genex Communications in 2005-2006 and were rechristened the Summum Chiefs after one of Genex's magazines, Summum. Genex sold the team to a group from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu and it moved there for the 2006-2007 season.
In an unusual arrangement, the franchise itself was sold and moved to Saguenay in 2008 to become the Saguenay 98.3. However, the team name moved to Saint-Hyacinthe in 2008 to become the Saint-Hyacinthe Chiefs.

Famous quotes containing the word chiefs:
““Hear me,” he said to the white commander. “I am tired. My heart is sick and sad. Our chiefs are dead; the little children are freezing. My people have no blankets, no food. From where the sun stands, I will fight no more forever.””
