It was a four-horse race atop the LHJAAAQ, with the Cobras de Terrebonne outlasting Longueuil, Princeville and Granby (the top four teams were within six points) to win a third-consecutive regular-season title. The Cobras stormed out of the gate with a season-high eight wins in a row and 14 in their first 15 games, and only once suffered back-to-back defeats. Third and second in goals for (225) and against (138), Terrebonne led the way on special teams, icing the top-ranked power play (32.4%) and penalty kill (84.1%) in the LHJAAAQ. David Perrault (36-37—73) paced the offence, while Samuel Gagnon posted the league’s best GAA (2.66) and save percentage (.922).
