62 QMJHL players at NHL camps
NHL training camps begin this week and the QMJHL will be represented by 62 players.
The Blainville-Boisbriand Armada and Moncton Wildcats lead the league with nine players each. For the Armada, among others, there will be recent first-round picks Justin Carbonneau, in St. Louis, and Bill Zonnon, in Pittsburgh.
Moncton’s total includes Caleb Desnoyers, who will be sidelined until November with a wrist injury. Desnoyers was selected fourth overall by the Utah Mammoth last June.
Another team to watch this season in the QMJHL, the Chicoutimi Saguenéens, will send seven of its players to NHL camps, including Maxim Massé, a third-round pick of the Anaheim Ducks in 2024.
The Baie-Comeau Drakkar, Cape Breton Eagles, Charlottetown Islanders, Québec Remparts, Shawinigan Cataractes, Newfoundland Regiment and Victoriaville Tigres will send between three and five skaters each.
Best of luck to the 62 QMJHLers at NHL camps!
Important: the total of 62 does not include players like Ethan Gauthier (Drummondville, Tampa Bay), Mathieu Cataford (Rimouski, Vegas) and Linards Feldbergs (Sherbrooke, Pittsburgh) who will likely play this season in the AHL instead of returning to the QMJHL as 20-year-olds.
