A trained historian, Benoît Clairoux wrote the reference work Les Nordiques de Québec, toute l'histoire de 1972 à 1995, published in 2001 by Les Éditions de l'Homme. He also contributed to the book Raconte-moi les Nordiques by Albert Ladouceur, published by Les Éditions Petit Homme in 2015. A member of the Society for International Hockey Research and founder of the website www.histoirenordiques.ca, he is undoubtedly one of the foremost experts on Nordiques history.
Like Benoît Clairoux, Pierre-Yves Dumont has closely followed the Nordiques as a fan. In 2017, he organized an event at his employer's Fairmont Le Château Frontenac, bringing together the 1976/77 Avco Cup champions, a highly publicized event in Quebec City. In 2022, he was part of the organizing committee for the World Hockey Association's 50th anniversary celebrations, also held in Quebec City. Befriending several players from the defunct team, he interviewed many of them and began telling their stories.
