History
The team was founded in 1996-97 as the Rive-Sud Jackals in the former Quebec Semi-Pro Hockey League (QSPHL). The Jackals became the Saint-Georges Garaga in 1998–99, when relocating to Saint-Georges, Quebec. The Garaga dominated Canadian senior hockey in the early 2000s, winning the 2002 Allan Cup and the 2004 Allan Cup. In 2005, the team was purchased by businessman Jean-Paul Blais, who also owns the CRS Express trucking company, and renamed the team Saint-Georges CRS Express. Blais sold the team to investors in 2010, and the team was renamed after a local radio station, CKRB-FM.
The last previous professional hockey team in the region were the Beauce Jaros from 1975 to 1977.

Garaga made the 2010 as a #4 seed and defeated the Saguenay Marquis four games to two.[1] Garaga scored 38 goals during the series. Three of the four victories against Saguenay were games that Garaga scored 8 or more goals.
St. Georges would advance to the Futura Cup Finals against the Sherbrooke St. François, who were the regular season champions. Garaga would go to defeat the Sherbrooke team four games to two[1]
