Team history
Bourassa Royal score a goal

The Bourassa Royal have played in the National Ringette League since its formation in 2004. For several years, the name of the team was BLL Nordiques. BLL is the acronym for Bourassa-Laval-Lanaudière area in Quebec.

For the 2011-12 season, the BLL Nordiques team became renamed, Bourassa Royal (short for Le Royal de Bourassa).[2][3] Reasons cited were recent changes in the BLL (Bourassa/Laval/Lanaudière) region. As a consequence, the BLL Nordiques were transferred to the local association of Bourassa, which was considered a move that would allow players to have better training opportunities.[4]
