| What's it Used For Today? |
The Palais des Sports has a pretty legendary cachet as the home to the Sherbrooke Castor/Beaver teams of the 1960's through to just a few years ago. The original Beavers were a founding member of the Q in 1969, and had great success in the Eastern Townships, but moved in 1982 to St-Jean-sur-Richelieu to become the St-Jean Castors, later the St-Jean Lynx, and today the Rimouski Océanic. In 1992, the former Trois-Rivières Draveurs moved to Sherbrooke to become the Faucons, and changed their name to the Castors in 1998, but low attendance drove them to Lewiston in 2003.
The Palais des Sports is today home to the Sherbrooke St-François of the LNAH.
