Rouyn-Noranda team representing Canada at the Little League World Series, 1982. Two future NHLers, Pierre Turgeon (back row, 2nd from right) and Stephane Matteau (back row, 3rd from right). They lost to Taiwan - the eventual winners - in the semis. Turgeon was the star of the team, a pitcher and shortstop. He was the first Canadian ever inducted into the Little League Baseball Wall of Excellence.
