The Drummondville Voltigeurs ("Infantrymen") are a major junior hockey team of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. They are based out of Drummondville, Quebec. The team plays its home games at the Centre Marcel Dionne. Their franchise was granted for the 1982-83 season.

Drummondville had a QMJHL team at the foundation of the league in 1969, called the Drummondville Rangers. However, the team folded at the end of the 1973-74 season. In 1982 the city was granted an expansion franchise, along with the Longueuil Chevaliers. The team was named for a Quebec-based regiment that fought in the War of 1812, the Canadian Voltigeurs. There is no literal translation of the name "Voltigeurs" from French into English, but "Infantrymen" or "Musketeers" captures the essence of it. The Voltigeurs have not enjoyed a tremendous amount of success on the ice in their history, and have yet to win their first President's Cup or Jean Rougeau Trophy. In spite of this, the Voltigeurs have participated in the Memorial Cup tournament twice, in 1988 and 1991, both times as the league runner-up. In 1988 they lost in the round-robin, but in 1991 the team made it to the Cup final, where they lost to the Spokane Chiefs.
