1988–89 QMJHL season

Canadian junior ice hockey season March 2026 The 1988–89 QMJHL season was the 20th season in the history of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League. The QMJHL first awards the end-of-season honours of the "Rookie All-star team" to first year players. The Quebec Remparts franchise returned as Longueuil Collège Français, bringing the league up to eleven teams. The league dissolved its divisions, and each team played 70 games each in the schedule. The league made it mandatory for all the teams' players to wear a full face shield covering their entire face. On February 9, 1989, the Drummondville Voltigeurs' coach and general manager Jean Bégin was suspended indefinitely after he was arrested and charged with sexual assault.https://www.journaldemontreal.com/2015/03/12/3-scandales 3 scandales qui ont marqué la LHJMQ Rouleau Françcois-David 2015-03-12 Le Journal de Montréal fr 2020-01-08Bégin arrêté La Presse Canadienne The Canadian Press February 9, 1989 Le Soleil Quebec City, Quebec 2 fr https://docplayer.fr/114935698-Jean-begin-accuse-d-agression-sexuelle-deux-nouvelles-pistes-et-des-telecabines-deux-fois-plus.html The Trois-Rivières Draveurs finished first overall in the regular season, winning their third Jean Rougeau Trophy.
