When in Montreal, you have to catch an Alouettes game, right? The team took a well-deserved break to head to Percival Molson Memorial Stadium and watch a Montreal Alouettes football game. A little rainy break that introduced them to the tradition of tailgating (hot dog included, of course) and showed them how we have fun here in Quebec!
The Boxers faced off against former players of the Gaulois de Saint-Hyacinthe, a highly anticipated matchup for local fans. Bruno Gervais, Maxime Talbot, Louis Domingue, Guillaume Brisebois, and Elliot Desnoyers, among others, welcomed our team from Bordeaux to the ice, but it was ultimately the Boxers who claimed victory with a 7-5 win. A close game that proved our French hockey team came to Quebec to work hard.
On Monday, August 12, the team headed to Quebec City and checked into the Bonne Entente Hotel. On the agenda: a press conference for local media to unveil the team's new jersey and introduce the Quebec shareholders, including Jean Bédard, Jacques Tanguay, and Patrick Roy. Special mention to Patrick Roy's motivating pep talk, which was greatly appreciated by the players. To wrap up their stay in Quebec City, they headed to Laval University's PEPS for an intense training session followed by an exhibition game.
