David Lapierre leaves the Bisons

After reaching the grand final of the Senior AAA Hockey League in the spring of 2022, the Bisons had a tough time last season. And on March 17, in what was the most reactionary news of 2023, David Lapierre left his position as general manager and head coach. Resignation or dismissal? The truth is everywhere at once. Monument in Granby because of his roots in the community and since he led the Inouk to conquer the Napa Cup in 2014, Lapierre will be replaced by Olivier Laliberté as GM and by Jonathan Lessard as coach.

Sidy Sow in the NFL

He comes from Bromont, he learned his football with J.-H.-Leclerc’s Incroyables and today he plays in the biggest football league in the world! Yes, Sidy Sow has come a long way since winning the Bol d’Or with the Incredibles in 2014. Drafted by the New England Patriots in the spring, he is now a starter, no less, with Bill Belichick’s team. A simply exceptional course!

Too strong, the Indians

A dynasty! This is the best way to describe the Granby Indians, who won their fourth consecutive Vallée-des-Forts Senior Baseball League championship in September and a fifth in six years. And there was a great atmosphere at the Stade Napoléon-Fontaine when the Indians were crowned again, with some 400 spectators in the stands. Hats off to manager Ben Gariépy, who succeeds year after year in motivating his players.

Never count the Beavers as beaten

No one thought highly of the Acton Vale Castors when they trailed 3-1 against the Victoriaville Cactus in the grand final of the Quebec Major Baseball League. And yet, Johan Ochoa’s players came from behind and celebrated with their many supporters on October 11 at the Stade Léo-Asselin. It was the second time since 2017 that the Castors rose to the top of the Quebec Major Baseball League.

An American wins at the Quebec Golf Open

It was an American, Davis Lamb, who won the honors of the first edition of the Quebec Open presented at Golf Château-Bromont. The tournament was overall a success and will be back next summer, this time inside the PGA Tour of the Americas.
