For a few decades now, Quebec players wearing the colors of the Montreal Canadiens have become increasingly rare. And yet, at the rate at which Quebec juniors are drafted from the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League (QMJHL) by NHL teams, I have the impression that the leaders of the Habs have prejudices against Quebec players. .
Be that as it may, I believe that the time has come to create a Quebec national hockey team that could, among other things, compete against Team Canada in international competitions. The QMJHL is teeming with talent and, with a good team of Quebec leaders, I am convinced that a Quebec national team would compete favorably against all European countries as well as against the Americans.
Hockey has always been the national sport of Quebec. From Maurice Richard to Jean Béliveau via Guy Lafleur, from Georges Vézina to Patrick Roy via Jacques Plante, many Quebecers have left their mark in the Hockey Hall of Fame.
The fleur-de-lis must display its letters of nobility among the teams represented on the international hockey scene. On this subject, the Premier of Quebec prides himself on being a fervent hockey fan. So, Mr. Legault, you must launch the idea of creating a Quebec national hockey team. It would be an exceptional legacy left to Quebecers during your time as Premier of Quebec!
