Season 9 • Episode 10
LatestLance et Compte is a series of Quebec téléromans revolving around a Quebec City ice hockey team. The series aired from 1986 to 1989 on the Radio-Canada network, and revival series on TQS in 2001 and on TVA from 2004 to the present. The first season was filmed in both French and English, the English version appearing on CBC Television as He Shoots, He Scores. It was the first television series to air simultaneously in English on CBC and in French on Radio-Canada. The series was scripted by Réjean Tremblay and Louis Caron for the first season, and by Tremblay and Jacques Jacob after that. Following the end of the regular series, a number of television movies continued to air into the 1990s. A new generation of the series started to air in 2001 and a movie was made in 2010.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The English version 'He Shoots, He Scores' flopped hard — turns out the French-Québécois soul doesn't translate.
Yvan Ponton (Jacques Mercier) was a real sportscaster; his casting blurred fiction and reality so hard that fans still asked him for game analysis.
