History
The team was founded in 2018 as Berlin BlackJacks in Berlin, New Hampshire, but after only 12 games and a 3–8–1 record, it was replaced by the Pétroliers du Nord, owned by the Pétrole & Propane Bélanger company.[1] After finishing the season in Saint-Jérôme, the Pétroliers moved to Laval for 2019–20.
The Pétroliers won their first LNAH title in 2026; however, immediately after their victory, the entire franchise was suspended due to destroying the league's trophy during their post-victory celebrations.[2] On May 29, 2026, the LNAH announced that the governors of the teams had voted to expel the Pétroliers from the league effective immediately, dissolving the franchise in the process.[3]
