The '''Quebec Remparts''' ({{langx|fr|Remparts de Québec}}) are a Canadian [[junior ice hockey]] based in [[Quebec City]], Quebec. The team plays in the [[Quebec Maritimes Junior Hockey League]] (QMJHL), and is named after the [[Ramparts of Quebec City]] ({{langx|fr|Remparts de Québec}}). There have been two franchises named the Quebec Remparts. The first edition played from 1969 to 1985; the current franchise has played since 1997. The current team plays at [[Videotron Centre]].

==Original Remparts==
The original Quebec Remparts team was founded in 1969 by a group of investors who purchased the assets of the junior [[Quebec Aces]] team.<ref>[http://en.remparts.ca/page/histoirymain   www.remparts.qc.ca]</ref> Some of the new owners included [[Paul Dumont]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://temple.hockey.qc.ca/fr/page/intronises_en_1991.html|title=INTRONISÉS EN 1991|date=1991|language=French|website=Temple de la renommée du Hockey Québécois|access-date=2018-09-17}}</ref> and [[Gérard Bolduc]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.genealogieplanete.com/news/view/id_2364/|title=Gérard Bolduc|website=Planète Généalogie|language=French|access-date=2018-10-03}}</ref> The Remparts took up residence in the same arena as the Aces in the [[Colisée de Québec]]. The Remparts were finalists for the [[George Richardson Memorial Trophy]] in 1969–70, and eastern Canadian champions in 1970–71. It was this team, which featured future [[Hockey Hall of Fame]]r [[Guy Lafleur]], that won a [[Memorial Cup]] championship in 1971. The team also won the [[President's Cup (QMJHL)|President's Cup]] five times. [[Gilles Courteau]] was the general manager of the Remparts from 1980 to 1985.<ref name="THRQ">{{cite web|url=http://temple.hockey.qc.ca/fr/page/intronises_en_2016.html|title=Intronisés en 2016|date=2016|language=French |website=Temple de la Renommée du Hockey Québécois|access-date=2018-09-10}}</ref>

After the 1984–85 season, the team went into dormancy for three seasons before being resurrected. After returning to play, then-sponsored by "Le Collège Français", the team moved to [[Longueuil]] to become the [[Longueuil Collège Français (QMJHL)|Longueuil Collège Français]]. The team played for three seasons before moving to [[Verdun, Quebec|Verdun]] in 1991 to become the [[Verdun Collège Français]]. The franchise ceased operations in 1994.{{cn|date=July 2020}}

==Revived Remparts==
The current Remparts franchise was granted for the 1990–91 season and was known as the [[Beauport Harfangs]], a suburb in the Quebec City metropolitan area. In 1997 the team moved to Quebec City, playing two seasons at [[PEPS]] on the campus of [[Laval University]] between 1997 and 1999. In 1999 the team moved into the [[Colisée de Québec]].{{cn|date=July 2020}}

On May 28, 2006, the Remparts won the [[Memorial Cup]], beating the [[Moncton Wildcats]] 6–2 in the [[2006 Memorial Cup|finals]]. Then-head coach [[Patrick Roy]] became the seventh coach to win the Cup in his first year as head coach, and the first to do so since [[Claude Julien (ice hockey)|Claude Julien]] of the [[Hull Olympiques]] in [[1997 Memorial Cup|1997]]. It was also the first time in Memorial Cup history that the finals involved two teams from the QMJHL. Quebec also won the Cup without winning a League championship and without hosting the event, another first in Memorial Cup history.{{cn|date=July 2020}}

On November 27, 2014, the Remparts were sold to [[Quebecor]] for an estimated price between $20 million and $25 million.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thehockeynews.com/blog/quebec-remparts-sold-for-between-20-million-and-25-million-source/ |title=Quebec Remparts sold for between $20 million and $25 million: Source |author=Ken Campbell |website=The Hockey News |date=November 27, 2014}}</ref> The Remparts were chosen to be the host of the [[2015 Memorial Cup]]. They defeated the [[Rimouski Océanic]] in tie-breaker 5-2, but were eliminated by the [[Kelowna Rockets]] in the semi-finals 9-3. The team moved to [[Videotron Centre|Centre Vidéotron]] on September 12, 2015.{{cn|date=July 2020}}

On June 4, 2023, the Remparts won the Memorial Cup, beating the [[Seattle Thunderbirds]] 5–0 in the [[2023 Memorial Cup#Championship game|championship game]]; head coach Patrick Roy had previously announced that this was his last year as head coach, thus completing the book end to his first year Cup win.
