The Laval Rouge et Or men's ice hockey team was an ice hockey team representing the Laval Rouge et Or athletics program of the Université Laval. The program played its first games shorty after World War II and survived until 1983.

History

Laval's first team was fielded immediately after World War II, playing a handful of games in the Senior Intercollegiate League (SIL). The circuit included four teams that were outside the Canadian Intercollegiate Athletic Union (CIAU), the main conference for Canadian college hockey. Unfortunately, the league did not prove to be successful and was abandoned after just one year. Five years later, Laval returned to the ice as a member of the CIAU, joining its former sister school, Montreal.[1] Predictably, the team had a poor showing in its first season, however, the Rouge et Or swiftly acclimated to the pace of play and steadily climbed up the ranks. Within 4 years, the club had won its first league championship and then won back-to-back titles at the beginning of the 1960s.[2] The Rouge et Or remained one of the better teams in the conference for much of the 60s but they were never able to reach the same heights.

In 1971, Canadian college hockey was drastically reorganized. The four conferences that were spread across Ontario and Quebec were broken up with the teams realigned into two provincial leagues. Laval, however, chose not to take part in the new Quebec Universities Athletic Association (QUAA) and suspended their hockey program. The team remained dormant for four years before returning in 1975. Financial problems plagued the club in their new conference, forcing the team to suspend operations for the entire 1977–78 season. The year off didn't seem to hamper the club on the ice as Laval reached the playoffs in four of the succeeding five seasons. Unfortunately, the club proved to be too costly for the university to continue to operate and the team was shuttered after a 2nd-place finish in 1983.
