Deposited into the Molson Centre during the National Lacrosse League’s Canadian expansion spree of the early 2000s, the Montreal Express were a box-office bust that came and went in just one season. The Express were competitive on the carpet (8-8) during the 2001-02 NLL season, but heavy financial losses led to the team’s closure during the summer of 2002.
The Montreal Roadrunners were a summertime pro roller hockey promotion that drummed up a modest following at the Forum and the Molson Centre during the mid-1990’s. The Roadrunners borrowed their nickname from Montreal Canadiens Hall-of-Famer Yvan Cournoyer, who served as the club’s head coach & general manager for their first two seasons.
