The Chevaliers de Lévis rewrote the record books in the LHMAAAQ, putting together the greatest season in the 43-year history of the league. The Chevaliers opened the season with 34 consecutive wins, obliterating the old record of 25 that had stood since 1984-85, and finished with just a single loss in 42 games, setting the mark for most wins (41) and most road wins (21). Not surprisingly, Lévis led the way at both ends of the ice – league scoring champion Joshua Roy (38-50—88) paced an offence that potted 225 goals, while the defence allowed more than two goals just eight times en route to a league-low 71.
