Rouyn-Noranda Capitales

The Rouyn-Noranda Capitales were a Junior "A" ice hockey team from Rouyn-Noranda, Quebec, Canada.

History

This defunct hockey team was a part of the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League. The team disbanded to make way for their city's Quebec Major Junior Hockey League franchise, the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies.
Some of their players were on the Northern Ontario Junior Hockey League all star teams list.
The Capitales were the first Québécois team in NOJHL history. The Capitales left in 1996. There would not be a new Quebec-based team in the league until 2008 when the NOJHL allowed the expansion of the Temiscaming Royals.
