The Armada started as the
St. John's Fog Devils when Newfoundland was granted an expansion franchise. The team was sold to a group intending to move it to Montreal for the 2008–09 season where it became the
Montreal Junior Hockey Club. In June 2011, the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League approved the sale of the Juniors to a group led by former NHL defenceman
Joël Bouchard, who moved the team to Boisbriand, Quebec, for the
2011–12 season. On July 12, 2011, the team unveiled its new name, logo and colours. In 2018, head coach and general manager
Joël Bouchard was hired by the
Montreal Canadiens to coach their minor league affiliate in the
American Hockey League, the
Laval Rocket for the
2018–19 season. ==Season-by-season records==
