They may have knocked down the Remparts and the Islanders on their way to St-John, but the Cataractes begin the event as underdogs. A status that does not bother the troops at all. “It’s nothing new for us, it’s been going on for a while. We heard a little more about it in the final, we saw what happened, ”says Mavrik Bourque. “We played only one game this season with our roster. In the playoffs, with pretty much everyone, we don’t have much to be ashamed of. The important thing is that people believe in us,” he continues.
