We look back to a 1992 article from The Hockey News Archive that challenges perceptions about the QMJHL.
This article, from the THN Archive dated December 4, 1992, is all about challenging commonly-held impressions about the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. How it is similar to and different than it's cousins: the Ontario Hockey League and the Western Hockey League?
Was the 'Q' a high-scoring league of smaller, skilled players in the 1990's? Could it be characterized as a goalie factory? These general perceptions are either confirmed or dispelled in this interesting piece.
Quotes from QMJHL president Gilles Courteau as well as familiar names like Pierre Dorion and Alain Vigneault are included.
