"Où sont passées les vedettes Québécoises de la LNH? To spare the inevitable rush to Google Translate, I will save you the time. NHL stars from Quebec...where have you gone? Follow the thread...Rocket Richard. Doug Harvey. Jacques Plante. Jean Beliveau. Boom Boom Geoffrion. Jean Ratelle. Serge Savard. Guy Lafleur. Gilbert Perreault. Marcel Dionne. Mike Bossy. Denis Savard. Ray Bourque. Patrick Roy. Mario Lemieux. Luc Robitaille. Martin Brodeur. Martin St. Louis. Patrice Bergeron. All-time greats."
"Heck, let's expand the parameters and include Michel Goulet, Rod Gilbert, Pierre Pilote, Yvan Cournoyer, Guy Lapointe, Jacques Lemaire, Rick Martin, Pierre Turgeon, Roberto Luongo, Vincent Lecavalier, Marc-Andre Fleury, and Kris Letang. Lists are fun, right (said the guy subjecting you to more commas than anyone should have to consume through three paragraphs of a hockey story). No, this isn't an exercise in rapid-fire-listing great NHLers who likely had their names mispronounced by broadcasters on a regular basis."
Quebec produced an extraordinary lineage of NHL stars across eras, from Rocket Richard, Jean Beliveau and Guy Lafleur to Mario Lemieux, Patrick Roy and Martin Brodeur. A broader list of notable Quebec-born players includes Michel Goulet, Roberto Luongo, Vincent Lecavalier, Marc-Andre Fleury and Kris Letang. Contemporary representation at the very highest level has thinned as many legends retired and fewer new top-tier Quebecois have emerged. Kris Letang remains among the most accomplished recent careers but is approaching the end of his prime. Few Quebec-born names stood out in early 2026 Olympic roster considerations.
