Laval Chiefs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Laval Chiefs (Les Chiefs de Laval) was a hockey team based in Laval, Quebec. The team is still part of the Ligue nord-américaine de hockey (LNAH), though no longer in Laval. The Chiefs were previously part of the semi-professional QSPHL (1998–2003) and QSMHL (2003–2004), LNAH (2004–2006). The Chiefs played at the Colisée de Laval.
The team was once known as the Saint-Lin Gladiateurs and they moved to Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu in May 2006.
A documentary on the Chiefs' enforcers, called Les Chiefs, was recently released to DVD and chronicles the life of the players. It was directed by Jason Gileno.
