Chronique Sportive Ou Politique? Le Canadien De Montréal Et La Crise Constitutionnelle Canadienne Dans La Presse, Le Devoir Et La Gazette (1976-1995) Chronique sportive ou politique? Le Canadien de Montréal et la crise constitutionnelle canadienne dans La Presse, Le Devoir et la Gazette (1976-1995) Thèse soumise à l‟Université d‟Ottawa en vue de l‟obtention du grade de Maître ès Art (M.A.) en histoire Département d‟histoire Faculté des Arts Université d‟Ottawa © Clarence Lemay, Ottawa, Canada, 2020 RÉSUMÉ Notre thèse de maîtrise s‟intéresse à la manière dont on a débattu, dans trois journaux de la ville de Montréal (La Presse, Le Devoir et la Gazette), de l‟équipe de hockey du Canadien de Montréal et de sa composition ethnolinguistique à partir de l‟élection du Parti Québécois de René Lévesque en 1976 jusqu‟au second référendum sur la souveraineté du Québec en 1995, autrement dit pendant un conflit politique majeur au Québec appelé la crise constitutionnelle canadienne. Alors que l‟équipe du Canadien connaît une diminution marquée du nombre de joueurs francophones dans sa formation dans les années 1970 et 1980, suivi par une refrancisation partielle du club au début des années 1990, au même moment où la société québécoise est à la croisée des chemins au niveau constitutionnel, nous souhaitons déterminer si ce club de hockey est devenu un enjeu politique au cours de la crise constitutionnelle canadienne. Compte tenu de l‟importance symbolique du Canadien au Québec, les discussions entourant l‟alignement de cette équipe dans les quotidiens étudiés ont-elles pu avoir une dimension politique à proprement dit? Plus encore, les débats politiques de la crise constitutionnelle ont-ils pu s‟immiscer dans ces débats sportifs sur le Canadien? Notre thèse a permis de déterminer que, durant la crise constitutionnelle canadienne, le Canadien de Montréal est devenu un « lieu de mémoire », tel que défini par l‟historien Pierre Nora : de nombreux chroniqueurs étudiés (tant francophones qu‟anglophones) ont cherché à figer, dans leurs écrits, le passé et l‟identité historique de l‟équipe (telles qu‟ils les concevaient) qu‟ils jugeaient alors menacés, afin que la mémoire de ce club puisse continuer à exister dans le présent. Par ailleurs, nous avons pu remarquer que les débats portant sur la composition ethnolinguistique du Canadien ont souvent recoupé les débats sur l‟avenir politique et ii constitutionnel de la société québécoise, parfois implicitement, souvent très explicitement. Le Canadien est donc devenu un lieu dans lequel l‟on a débattu de la situation constitutionnelle québécoise entre 1976 et 1995. Ce faisant, notre thèse permet d‟enrichir notre compréhension du rôle de la presse comme organe de transmission d‟idées politique et comme relais politique entre les élites et la masse. iii REMERCIEMENTS Tout d‟abord, je désire remercier mon directeur de thèse, le professeur Michel Bock, d‟avoir bien voulu m‟accepter comme étudiant à la maîtrise et pour toute l‟aide qu‟il m‟a offerte. Par ailleurs, j‟aimerais remercier chaleureusement les professeurs François Charbonneau et Serge Durflinger d‟avoir lu et examiné cette thèse et d‟y avoir apporté de judicieux commentaires. J‟aimerais aussi remercier mes parents (Line et Benoît) ainsi que ma sœur (Élyse) pour m‟avoir supporté et encouragé tout au long de la réalisation de cette thèse de maîtrise et d‟avoir toujours eu confiance en moi. Mes remerciements s‟adressent également au personnel de la bibliothèque de l‟Université d‟Ottawa ainsi que celui de la bibliothèque municipale de Hawkesbury, qui m‟ont aidé à mener mes recherches et accueilli (avant la pandémie de COVID-19). Enfin, je désire exprimer ma gratitude à l‟Université d‟Ottawa et au gouvernement de l‟Ontario pour leur appui financier. iv TABLE DES MATIÈRES RÉSUMÉ ......................................................................................................................................... ii REMERCIEMENTS ....................................................................................................................... iv INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................................................ 1 AVANT-MATCH ............................................................................................................................ 1 Présentation du contexte historique .............................................................................................. 2 Quand le sport rencontre le politique : le cas du Canadien de Montréal au Québec ................ 2 Un avenir politique incertain au Québec : la crise constitutionnelle canadienne, 1976-1995 .. 8 Problématique ............................................................................................................................. 16 Survol historiographique ............................................................................................................ 19 Sport et politique ..................................................................................................................... 19 La crise constitutionnelle canadienne ..................................................................................... 24 Sources et méthodologie ............................................................................................................. 29 Structure du travail ..................................................................................................................... 39 CHAPITRE I .................................................................................................................................. 41 PREMIÈRE PÉRIODE : LE CANADIEN DE MONTRÉAL ET L‟AFFIRMATION NATIONALE DES FRANCO-QUÉBÉCOIS, 1976-1982 ............................................................ 41 Le Canadien de Montréal en tant que symbole national ............................................................ 45 Un symbole national québécois .............................................................................................. 45 Un symbole national canadien ................................................................................................ 52 La symbolique du Canadien de Montréal en péril ...................................................................... 59 La minorisation du fait français chez le Canadien de Montréal ............................................. 59 Un Canadien de Montréal principalement francophone?

  • Former Aigles Bleus Coach Perron Made His Name in Moncton SEAN HATCHARD TIMES & TRANSCRIPT
    27 oct. 2016 – Times & Transcript Former Aigles Bleus coach Perron made his name in Moncton SEAN HATCHARD TIMES & TRANSCRIPT Jean Perron coached the Montreal Canadiens to a Stanley Cup victory in 1986. He paraded down Saint Catherine Street as thousands of Canadiens fans lined the parade route. But it was his 10 seasons as head coach of the Université de Moncton Aigles Bleus that Perron calls “the best hockey time in my life.There’s no question about that.” In Perron’s tenure guiding the university men’s team, the Aigles Bleus never missed the playoffs. He helped turn them into a national powerhouse, winning back-to-back Canadian championships in 1981 and 1982. They won four Atlantic conference titles, too. Perron, who coached UdeM from 1973 to 1983, will be inducted into the Moncton Sports Wall of Fame as a builder on Saturday at the Capitol Theatre. The 70-year-old is returning to the city for the festivities from his home in Chandler, Que. “I’ll be there like I never left,” he said. “I’m so excited. I’m like a little kid.” Perron has never forgotten the scene in the city when his team arrived home from winning its first national championship in 1981 in Calgary. “Bill Boucher, the director of the alumni association,called me before I left Calgary and said,‘Jean,you won’t believe what is happening here in Moncton. Get ready because you’re going to have the shock of your life,’”Perron said. “We arrived at the airport and there was 5,000 people jam-packed in the small airport, and there was a line of cars from the airport to downtown.

  • Guy Lapointe
    Guy Lapointe Guy was a member of a triumvirate of defensemen the likes of which will never exist on one team again – with Larry Robinson and Serge Savard. All 3 are members of the Hockey Hall of Fame. Guy made the Montreal Canadiens to stay, after a few games with the big club the two previous seasons, in 1970-71. He won the Stanley Cup that first season. After only his second season in the league, he was named to Team Canada in 1972 to play in the Summit Series versus the USSR. Guy played in 7 of the 8 series games. He won the cup for the second time in the 1972-73 season and then captured 4 more cups with the Habs’ dynasty that dominated the league from 1975-76 to 1978-79. Guy was big and strong enough to play a solid defensive game. But he was also wildly talented offensively –witness his 76 points in 77 games in 1976-77 and is 28 goals in 1975-76, all as a defenseman, of course. And he had 3 consecutive seasons of 20+ goals. In 1981-82, the Habs traded Guy to the St. Louis Blues where he played for a season and a half before ending his career with a final season with the Boston Bruins. Guy was known to keep his team loose with his practical jokes and sense of humour. Guy was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1993. He was a First Team All Star in 1973 and a Second Team All Star in 1975, 1976 and 1977.
