The Saint-Hyacinthe Laser were born in 1989 after the Verdun Junior Canadiens were bought and moved to the city of Saint-Hyacinthe, Quebec . The team played for seven years before moving to Rouyn-Noranda.
In the third year of operation, general manager Claude Lemieux was named Executive of the Year (John Horman Trophy). He rebuilt the Verdun Junior Canadiens team that struggled last place in the QMJHL for three seasons into a club with a winning record, and awarded for many individual achievements in the next few years. Richard Martel, was awarded Coach of the year in 1993-94 (Ron Lapointe Trophy).
The most notable player in the team's history is goaltender Martin Brodeur. He played three full season with the Laser, being drafted 20th overall in the 1st round of the 1990 NHL Entry Draft. He will no doubt be honoured in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
