Last night, the Québec Remparts played a near-perfect game to claim the Memorial Cup. This brings to a close an exceptional season for the Remparts, who won everything there was to win.

Because the Memorial Cup was won out west, in Kamloops, the Remparts celebrated on the road. That said, that didn’t stop Remparts fans from gathering in Quebec City.
At Place Jean-Béliveau, many Remparts fans watched the game and celebrated the victory of the crowd favorites.

It’s not the first time we’ve seen the passion of Quebec City fans, who were also out in force when the club won the QMJHL title in the Maritimes.
But even so, the NHL won’t be coming to Quebec City…
All this to say that last night was also a great night of celebration. The fans showed their passion, and some of them were even present early this morning when the club’s plane arrived.
The problem? During the celebrations on RDS, one rascal decided to have his five seconds of fame. He went in front of the station’s camera and imitated fellatio.

François-Étienne Corbin rightly pointed this out yesterday. With good reason, you might say.
It’s a pity, because it gives bad press to the people of Quebec City, the vast majority of whom just wanted to celebrate an important achievement with dignity.

No, Quebec and the Maritimes have nothing to envy anyone. Let’s hope the NHL teams realize that.

– What a handsome player.

A flawless performance by the Remparts puts their hands on the Memorial Cup! 🔥
Chatter for chatter’s sake… selecting goalie William Rousseau with a late draft pick, wouldn’t be a bad idea I guess!
